Questions and Answers

Antenna, Locks, Windows In-Op

Q. Hi Vincent, I really need your help on my car: When I tried to forcibly push my antenna back to my car since it didn't go back automatically like usual, I found that I can't use power window and lock system even listen to the radio any more. There's no power. Now one of my window is still half open. My car is a 1988 Toyota Camry, automatic, power lock, window, antenna. Thanks very much.

Regards,
Randy

A. I would check the 7.5 amp GAGUES fuse in the fuse box first. All the affected systems draw power from that fuse and I suspect by forcing the antenna mast down, you jammed the antenna motor which shorted out and blew the fuse.
