Randy Wildebrandt Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I have a 94 XLE. This car has an electric antenna. I'm getting a squealing noise when the antenna goes up. The noise come from the area of the antenna. I've replaced the antenna mast. The old mast looked ok. The new mast seemed to work for a while. Then it started to squeal as well. I suspect I need to take the motor out to see if something has gotten in it. But I wanted to check here first to see if anyone had any other ideas. Or if not, if there were any things I should be careful of when removing the motor. I believe that motor is a pretty expensive item to replace so I don't want to make my problem any worse. Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevelaw Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Try spraying some DEOXYIT on the mast when it's all the way up. I have a former post or two on this stuff. I have been using this stuff for many years to clean the pots on basses and on my 1953 Fender Esquire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been using this stuff for many years to clean the pots on basses and on my 1953 Fender Esquire. I tried the DeOxit on the mast. But the problem was really in the motor itself. So I replaced the entire assembly. Pretty easy to swap it out. And everything works fine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
