Possessed Antenna

My radio antenna has developed a mind of it's own. It goes up, it goes down, it goes up, it goes down at will. And will drain the battery over time. The radio is off and as many of you may know it's not easy to get at the unit itself. There is no fuse labeled "radio" that I can see.

Sooo, anybody know how I can stop it?

Bump

Anybody got a wiring diagram handy that can tell me what wire where to cut/pull to stop it?

I'm not sure if you ended up fixing this yet or what, but I just disconnected mine. There wasn't anything wrong with the antenna itself, but the actual tuner on my factory head unit doesn't work so why have it hooked up. If you take your jack out and shine a flashlight down toward the antenna you should see a white connector with (I believe) 6 pins on it. Just simply unplug it.
