electric aerial motor doesn't stop to work!
Hi,
in my 1992 XJ12 jag yesterday antenna motor started to make problems... When I turned off radio, the electric antenna motor properly started but the antenna stayed up - the problem is that the motor didn't stop - just continued to work. I had to cut the big lift relay to stop it. I have opened the antenna motor - inside there is another (smaller) relay that (it seems to me) regulates little connectors. When I unclasp that little connector with my fingers, the motor stops... So - any idea what should I do? In my opinion that little relay does not work - is that relay kind of general relay that is used also in other devices (and could be bought) or is special relay just for that particular motor? Any suggestions? Thanks, Cene |

sounds like the toothed cable broke.

I agree with Jose -- fairly easy to fix. Your motor sounds fine, it's just not catching the antennae. you could buy a whole new mast that comes with a new toothed cable (probably around $15).

If it's a 92 XJ12 then it has the Series 3 style motor. No toothed cable to replace. Unfortunately, that's only sold as a complete unit.

Yeah,
I' ve tried today to open it and see if I can do anything - it seems almost impossible - you cannot open damn thing without destroy it... Do you have any experience with replacement part - original part DAC4090 is quite expensive and there are cheaper replacements for third of a original price..? Cene |

This is an aftermarket version, but it looks good and does the job.
