The power (radio) antennae on my 1994 Mazda MX6 will not extend. It is stuck in the retracted (down) position. Is a fuse blown? I was told by the previous owner that the antennae is supposed to extend when the car is started.

Check to see if there is power to the motor. If there is, then the motor most likely is bad. If there is no power, check fuses first.

You should be able to disconnect the antenna motor and just extend it manually. That is the cheap way to fix it. lol
