Lexus/Toyota Power Antenna Mast Replacement 

This was truly helpful. One word of advice: make certain the audio system is in radio mode when preforming repair.

This was a massive help. I was devastated when my antenna stopped working since I take great pride in having a good appearance on my 95 Maxima, but this was an easy fix with simple instructions. Thank you so much.

BRILLIANT finally somebody provides an easy peasy R & R of SC antenna !!!!

Excellent, sir. If only everyone was as direct and clear as you..

Great video. Clear instructions and useful tips/tricks. I only needed to change the antenna. Simplest job I've ever done on a car taking 5-10mins.

If anyone is having problems installing try twisting it back and fourth until it engages I had to do this. Great video

Great video. Your furry QC department clearly approves of the work.

Perfect video, now I feel more comfortable changing out my snapped antenna mast. You did a great job showing how to diagnose and fix a broken tooth cable and keeping it in the shot with good views of it all. Extending the antenna before sucking it down does make sense, because it would be though to handle all that loose cable and maybe even cause damage if the mast doesn’t get sucked into its hole immediately, but with it extended it gives you time to line it up and get it in its slot as the antenna lowers.

A good coherent explanation for an aerial replacement

Looks soo simple... I've watched this after I removed and reconstructed completely :) Removed all the grease from everywhere, then greased again The Dog is soo cute at the end of video ! I like him :) :)

It's just so cool seeing those antenna goes up like that

Fantastic video bro. Exactly what I needed to know without a bunch of unnecessary fluff.

Thank you! I needed to replace mine on our 1994 ES300, appreciate it.

Great video I have a 1995 LS 400 and I was still able to follow through with everything he was saying

Thanks great tutorial. I followed your directions had problems with antenna feed but IL try again. I really like how your Explain direction of cable to antenna motor.

Also works for my 95' 4runner! Not the exact same set up as the antenna is in the front but the motor assembly is very similar. Thanks for the video. Hella helped.

Always thought power antennas were really cool, gonna try this on my sc300 tomorrow.

Straight and to the point............Excellent video Sir!

This came in clutch for my 95 ls400 thanks sir 🤝

2000 year Prado 90 series , pretty much same set up but harder to get to the antenna motor as its in the front fender have to go thru front wheel arch, good work PBM

Perfection .... I'm not easily impressed but you got me with this video

Excellent video!!

Great video!!! I have a 1994 GS 300 and will try this

Thanks very useful for my 1995 Toyota Celica (T20)! 🙏

Thanks for an excellent presentation. The unit on my 2000 Solara works, but makes some "crunching" sounds when it goes up and down. Your video has given me enough info that I think that I will take a chance and attempt a repair.

Excellent job

Outstanding job! Been dreading this on a 94 Camry but not now. Thanks a thousand!

Great job I hope mine goes as well, Thank You

Clean instructions.

Great video thank you

Good Job! Thanks.

this should solve my issue with my AW11 MR2s antenna

similar to what's in my 97 Celica, waiting on my mast. Would not have put all that grease in there, probably what's blocked the water drain. Lightly lubing the nylon teeth on the antenna cord would suffice.

Dog approved!

Also works on the 1992 - 1996 Toyota Camry. I'm having the same problem. Mine's popped out of the car altogether after fully extending.

How can I figure out if my antenna motor still operates once it’s out? I figured you could do some multimeter checks considering it doesn’t look to be in the greatest of shape. I have a 93 LS400

Great video to replace the mast but in getting the broken piece out of the motor/gear section a big spring went "boing" and I'm sure it is supposed to have some tension when I put it back together. Where can i find out about the internals of the antenna mast motor and how to put the spring back?

Love the video! I got one question though. I put in the new replacement antenna mast, but now when I turn it on and the mast is completely out the motor doesn’t stop and just starts to grind.

This is the exact same on a 90-93 celica

These look almost identical to my mk4 Supra my cable broke too just need to find the correct cable part

My car came with uff a after market stereo and I believe it won’t send signal to the motor to go up and down because I can’t hear anything when I turn “off and on” unlike another Lexus I have it makes noise, the teeth of the antenna won’t move due being broken.. any thoughts?

I'm doing this on my 96 Nissan Maxima but I seem to be having an issue, I had a broken cord on the end of my mast as well so I took the motor assembly apart, cleaned everything out all the little broken pieces reassembled the gears put the spool back on put the case back on, remounted it in the trunk. The motor runs perfectly fine for about 12 seconds in both directions when there's nothing going into it. As soon as I try to feed the nylon cord down into it, it almost immediately stops after about a half a second. Then when I put the radio back in it, it runs for about a half a second and spits out the cord again. I can only get it to do this I can't get it to suck the cord down for some reason. I have the teeth facing the correct direction, not sure what the problem is.

Excellent video. . . no need to watch 12-1/2 minutes of unscrewing and screwing bolts! Your editing "cut to the chase" of what needs to be done!

At about 4:44 min into the video you were mounting the antennae. I would probably have routed the wires through the top inside panel where other wires are located. You may have had a reason not to. I.E. wire thickness or pinch problem.

Thanks for the very good explanation. If it is broken only a short section of the wire, is it possible to take the broken part out and install the mast again? I mean, reuse the not complete section assuming it is still long enough. Thanks in advance

how do I know whcih direction of the mast teeth is fsacing?

What you called the parts that looks like a relay/module(black rectangular part) ? can i have the part number for that?

is the same process to a mk4 supra?

What kind of grease was used at around 3:15? Also, should the old grease be wiped off, before applying new grease? Great video, I learned much. Thanks.

Does yours still work fine? Me and my brother tried replacing these 2 times but they'll either get loose or crunch sounds or rip the cord; aftermarket units are trash and at pull n save stores the trunks r locked n no way of getting to em; I guess the last hope may be an original oem/nos replacement part.

Hello Thank you for your tutorial well done !! I tried it on my toyota MR2. But I have a little issue. All is working fine but each time antenna go up, electric motor seams to still run. Making a bad noise 3-4sec. Have you by any chance ever seen that ? I re-open it nothing seems bad inside :/ Thank you in advance!

This process is exactly the same of 2004 Toyota sequoia antenna mast

What kind of grease did you use inside that plastic wheel (inside the motor)?

I put one in my Camry. Very similar to your method. Now antenna goes up and down fine. With one problem. When it reaches it fully extended position, the motor keeps running and it sounds like it's jumping gears on the plastic. This will last for a few seconds until the motor times out and quits running. When it goes down, it quits like normal. Is there a timing procedure that I missed?

Bent the antenna in a car wash. Just need to swap out the antenna itself. Do I still need to replace the cable too? I would imagine it would somehow unscrew from the antenna???

Can i have the part number? Its hard to look for that part

You can buy a new aftermarket one for $50 on Ebay

Can i get this antenna ? Whts the price ?

You think this fits an sc300

Mine will not grab

We don’t see how u fix it 🤬👎🏽
