Follow-up -and- question.

Local Acura dealer completed the project just under $1100.00. Parts
were almost $600.

Antenna. I have lived with the mast in the [mostly] up position. My
antenna on the car, that is...

But the dealer kindly washed the vehicle prior to my claiming it after
the aforementioned service. The antenna had been pushed down. When I
powered on the radio, the antenna deployed to the almost complete
length. But it will not retract when radio/ignition is powered off.
Back to what I had grown accustomed to. Just a whirring noise and then
a click before the antenna motor stops.

Does this suggest that I might get away with replacing just the antenna
assembly as opposed to the entire electric antenna drive motor? One is
only a little expensive and the other is not a worthwhile investment, IMHO.

Your thoughts?

Thanks.
