My Dad snapped off his antenna the other day and now gets a bunch of motor clicks at startup, shutdown. He is mostly looking for a way to disable the mortor. He pulled a fuse, but that dropped power to some other accesories he wants to keep using.

Anyone know of an easy wire to snip or other option to deactivate the motor?

Power to the 3rd gen power antenna comes off a harness in the wheel well...just unplug it. You'll probably have to take the wheel well lining out a bit to get to it. Not hard. I imagine the others are the same...my 1st gen power antenna is broken, clicks going up and down, but I have yet to replace it with a whip, so I don't know if it is the same as a 3rd gen.
