Thge only thing that does not work on my 91 RX is the antenna. I know I shouldn't complain if that is all thats wrong but, I would like to fix it. Any info on repalcement antennas and how hard they are to install would be appreciated.

 

its pretty straight foward, just get a new motor, and pull off some carpet off the side of the trunk area and start takin the old off and the new on, its simple, i need to do mine also

 

Thanks

 

does the motor run but the mast does not move? is the antenna wired into the radio correctly? check these things before you buy a new motor... may not be necessary AND may not be the fix.

 

I have the same issue, but I know that my motor runs. I've taken apart the entire unit and it's the cable from the mast that has broken. Is it actually possible to get a new mast without paying some insane price for it?

 

I've got a motor and mast for sale (together), I took mine out awhile back because I didn't like it. Unit works fine. PM me and make me an offer.

 

the mast is replaceable, without replacing the motor

 

Thanks again for the info. I think I know what to do now. Or do I? Yep I do.

 

Stock or aftermarket stereo? If it's aftermarket it may just be wired wrong.

 

If you are sure that it is only the plastic belt that is broken it can be replaced without getting either a new mast or whole antena unit. Mazda does have the cable and the FSM has instructions how to replace.

Thats the cheapest way to go.

 

The Teflon/plastic belt in the mast is part of the mast.

Just replace the whole mast. They typically are only around $20.

 

The mast is normally around $20 USD at most stereo shops or on Ebay. You need a mast for a Harada Antenna.
