So my power antenna is broken and keeps trying to lower my antenna even after the keys are out of the ignition. Ive resorted to disconnecting the battery until I can get time to fix it but I was wondering if I could just remove the stereo / power antenna fuse and it should stop, right? If I can do that temporarily, where will I find the fuses?

 

Not so quick, the power antenna does not get its power from the radio.
The radio just switches it on and off.

Turn the tires all the way to the right.
Take off the passenger side wheel well liner.
You will find a connector going to the antenna motor - just disconnect it.

 

Disconnect the relay, which is under the pass side of the dash. IIRC, mine was in the general vicinity of the ECM.

Thanks a bunch for the advice! I had to turn the wheels all the way to the LEFT not the right, but the idea was sound. Snipped the wires (couldn't find any actual plug to disconnect) and now I still hear the switch "ticking" when I start and stop the car, but the motor doesn't do anything. Thanks again!

 

Also, to answer your question, the fuse box is located under the drivers side dash. There should be a plastic piece that you can remove and the fuse box is right there.

 

That's the relay.

Hello all, sorry that I'm replying to an old post, but I'm kinda stumped. I've recently purchased an 1989 IROC-Z project. It currently doesn't run but does turn over. I believe that it's not getting fuel. My guess is that it's probably the fuel pump, but I'm checking the wiring first before I shovel money towards the pump. I checked the leafs to the fuel pump relay and determined that it's not getting power and now I'm double checking the fuses. My problem is that I don't know how to drop the fuse box. I've already taken out the screws towards the rear of the fuse box but I can't seem to find how the fuse box actually comes down.

 

Check the fuse by the battery under the hood if your not getting power to the fp relay.
