Ever since I bought my J95, the elec aerial has been dodgy. I have read the forum posts on this subject inside out and cannot find a thread that describes my problem. Hope someone can help??
Turn radio on and 1 maybe 2 seconds later the elec aerial moves upwards - sometimes an inch sometimes 18 inches. If I press the dash mounted "up" button, it extends another inch but no more. If I tap the "down" button quickly - just enough to get the aerial down a fraction, I can then push "up" and maybe get another inch sometimes two!
When I turn the radio off, it will start to retract. Sometimes most of the way, sometimes just a few inches. It is driving me mad! I have cleaned it, assisted by pulling (helps a little) but it continues to confound me. Yesterday, I went to an audio "specialist" who suggests there is a control module hidden somewhere under the dash but on phoning around was unable to tell me where. I reckon the aerial is connected to the radio with no secret little black boxes. Can anyone offer any help please? I would like to keep an elec aerial if poss as it is very handy when passing low lying triffids.
