Default Aerial, a mind of it's own

For no reason what so ever my aerial goes up. Car off sitting in a parking lot for hours and up she goes. Is this a sign that the head unit is about to expire? Or maybe I need an exorsist.

HAHAHA.

Some would say "be thankful for small mercies", at least it works, mmmm.

I reckon the head unit is starting to go hissy, coz it supplies the signal to the antenna, so that circuit is maybe getting a feed from somewhere. A replacement head unit makes sense to me.

Someone else may have different causes.

(to Grant's comment - not your predicament)


It's more than likely going to be the head as Grant suggests.

One thing worth checking and eliminating before going to the pain of pulling and possibly replacing the radio. Check the harness at the aerial motor isn't shorting.

OK, that means I'll count out demonic possesion. I'd really wouldn't mine a more modern stereo, but with the odd look and the Harmon-Kardon wiring, an oe head unit is go to have to do.
