Its my 92 740 turbowagon. The antenna was gone, snapped off at
base. I bought a new antenna and installed it. The plastic track to
make it go up/down went in OK. However, the motor doesn't work, so I
just installed it extended. I opened up the panels and to my surprise
I found that the motor isn't electric...its a vacuum operated motor
with two lines going to it. SO I started the car and tried it....
with the dash switch in either position, there is no vacuum on the
clear line (the black one doesn't come on/off with a barb fitting
like clear one does). My guess is that the switch is not electric at
all either but its a vacuum switch. Haven't torn into the dash to
check that out yet.
Anyway, how to troubleshoot where the vacuum to operate the antenna
is being lost?
Thanks, geronimo
