Good overview. I'm doing this job now and the little nut from the ground wire fell out on to the ground and I didn't know where it came from or where it was supposed to go. Other videos didn't cover that part. Thanks!
That's where the school of hard knocks comes in. Take it all back apart...Hit the hardware store with the part the nut should go on...Voila! 18 cents and you're on your way with a lesson learned.
I see what the issue could be on mine, now that you've shown how the motor works. It must not be aligned at all. Because all I hear is grinding when powering the radio on/off, but no movement from the antenna, which is stuck at its highest point. Awesome work, thanks again.
@@theotherguy3083Yes. Couldn’t see what you did to reinstall. Usually you have to remove the chrome ring before pulling the fender off, and the motor then stays on the core support when you pull the fender off.
@@FIVEVEEZEE it does. I just uploaded a video of how I fixed mine. I couldn't find much out there on it so I decided well I guess I'll make a video lol
By any chance do you know if there's an intake air temperature sensor on the right fender anywhere? Part number 89424 from Toyota I have a 97 4runner but I can't find it
There are other antennas on the vehicle but It does get WAY better reception with that front r fender mount antenna. What I dont like about it is it goes so high it looks like you're storm chasing. Way out of proportion...
Well done👍🏽
Not an easy project, nice to see that your son helped.

Please support me by subscribing and liking the video.
Same thing on my 3rd gen, although its intermittent that grinding/screeching noise gets me some weird looks in public and drives me crazy
@@smethane were you able to fix it?
@@theotherguy3083 I will be able to now, thanks for the video!
My parents' '86 Olds Firenza had a power antenna that quit retracting. I'm a fan of plain old mast antennas myself.
Great information on this video!
Great job!!
How did you bolt it back to the body? Looks like that body colored L bracket broke off the core support. I have the same issue
Did you watch the whole video

@@FIVEVEEZEE currently welding mine back on right now 🤦🏼♂️
@@Brad_English seems to be a common issue.

It is right here sir.

has antenna motor got its own fuse.
Hello, my antenna broke a long time ago. Now what if key on but no sound of antenna motor working?
Check power supply to your motor. You might just have a short fuse, or bad connection. If those checks out, ohm your motor
@@theotherguy3083 good advice never thought of that! Thnx
This your new ride?
An addition to my rides. Yes
lol , you do realize you dont have to do all you did to replace the antenna?
Yes. But I like the original
Leave it gone plug it off and call it good! Waste of time. Hahaha.

Those things are pure antique junk. You have tricked out aftermarket parts on your truck, but your hanging on to a 30 year antannae.
Link?
@@theotherguy3083 Haters gonna hate.
@@theotherguy3083 30 year antannae.? Mines a 99. The math doesnt work.🤫🤫🤫☺
