Hi all,
2001 GUII - My electric antenna has died. Can I get any powered antenna, or does the multi-position switch on the dash only work with a Nissan one? I'm keen to keep the switchable option so I can flick a button and not loose the antenna when scrub bashing, but I presume Nissan will charge big $$$ if I need to go genuine!?!
It can be manually positioned anywhere between about 3/4 of the way down and fully up, but when you turn the car on / off, you can hear the motor working for about 20 secs with a clicking sound (sounds like gears slipping), but without the antenna moving. I'm therefore pretty sure that the electrics are all working right, but the gearing between the antenna motor and the antenna itself are shot. I therefore presume it's a throw away and replace job, unless anyone has repair suggestions?
Thanks,
