Is this a factory fuse?
I am trying to get my aftermarket power antenna to work. I bought the car with the antenna not working. Could this be the fuse for the antenna. It has a 20 amp blade fuse inside the plastic case.

I need to get the motor working so I can get the antenna down so I don't put a hole in the car cover. Also, it looks stupid with the antenna sticking out of the car cover. How do you get a car cover for a car with a fixed antenna?

That looks like a fan fuse for the radiator fan. The Antennae fuse is the ACC fuse in the fuse box.
Edit: OR YOU KNOW WHAT. I think thats the fuel pump fuse. Pull it out and turn the key to the Acc position and see if the fuel pump primes up.

I don't think that that is it. Let me pull out a wiring diagram. Don't see it there. I'd check the fuse box inside the car. Is there an aftermarket stereo? If so you might want to check that they didn't unhook the wire behind it. I believe there is a lead from the antenna motor that goes behind the deck so the antenna will go up and down when the radio gets turned on or off. My car doesn't have a power antenna so I'm only trying to make educated guesses. There isn't a switch for it inside the car is there?

The car had an aftermarket stereo when I bought it. The antenna tried to go up and down when the stereo was turned on and off but it wouldn't go up and down, it would try for about 30 seconds then shut off. Now I put a new head unit in it and it doesn't even try to go up and down. The power antenna is aftermarket, the car had a fixed antenna when new, so there shouldn't be a fuse for it in the fuse box right?

You did hook the power antennea wire from the new deck to the power antennea motor right? Shouldn't be a fuse for it in the fuse box I don't think. Might be an inline fuse somewhere in the wire going to the motor.

Also, the antenna could be wired into the fuse box, if the antenna is aftermarket. It's relatively simple to do... follow the wire behind the headunit and see what you have.

That is the fuel pump fuse. I am positive because I knock it out by when I changed my bat. and was scratching my head for hours while I tried to figure out why the car wouldn't start.

That is the fuse for the ECM. You will notice that if you have any trouble codes stored in the computer, after you pull the fuse they dissappear.
