1. Auto Antenna Models:
INSPECT ANTENNA MOTOR




a. Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 5.
b. Check that the motor turns (moves upward).

NOTE: These tests must be done quickly (within 3 - 5 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning out.




c. Then, reverse the polarity, check that the motor turns the opposite way (moves downward).

NOTE: These tests must be done quickly (within 3 - 5 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning out







2. Auto Antenna Models:
INSPECT ANTENNA MOTOR CONTROL RELAY CIRCUIT
