Today I fitted a new electric aerial which replaces the old electric aerial which had its mast broke in my disco.
All the wiring is correct as my mate is a sparky and we double checked it all.

The aerial went up when turned radio on. Now however it wont move at all.

No idea why. It is brand new so shouldnt have problems.

Any ideas??

I had the same problem many years ago on an aftermarket stereo and arial, that was down to incompatability between the 2, the head unit just 'cut' power to the arial when turned off, but the old arial needed reversed power to turn motor in opposite direction. - may not be relevent, but i'll share it with you just in case!

Thanks

Its strange though as the aerial and wiring are completely the same and the stereo has not been changed.

Looks likely I will have to spend money and go to a auto-electrician!
