85 antenna problems
I have a Kenwood radio installed. My power antenna will go up when radio is turned on but will not go down when I remove the face plate. any ideas?

Does the antenna go down when you turn the radio off ?

So if it doesn't go down with the face plate removed, or the radio off with the face plate on, when does it go down? Just with ignition off?

I would check the wiring. it's possible they swapped the remote turn on wire and power antenna. My stereo has 2 blue wires. One for amp and one for the power antenna.
