Default Power antenna relay/fuse?

Hi, guys,

Had issues with my power antenna motor not stopping when turning on/off radio but eventually did after a few minutes. Well last night the motor would not stop at all or retract antenna. I ended up disconnecting the car battery since it was late, and went to bed.

I'd like to pull a relay or fuse, and just forget about the radio all together but not sure which one(s) will do it. I did look at the mess of wires at the antenna motor but I really don't like messing with electricals.

Can someone help me please as I'd like to attach battery but want this sorted first. Thank you. I have attached a video link:

not trying to be a smartalec but if you can find the antenna wires just unplug them at the antenna and call it a day.

I looked for a simple plug but didn't see one. For some reason they all appear spliced together

I have a feeling someone's been there before you!

My sentiments, exactly!

Right now trying to figure out how I can disable the antenna motor from engaging before I hook up the battery otherwise the motor will just stay on, and never stop.

Is there an in-trunk replacement/alternative for the antenna such that we could just leave the telescoping unit permanently down but still get decent reception?
