I have blown 2 power antennas in 5 years on my car, Is this a common problem, or do you think I have a short some where. Both, were professionally installed. Im about to go standard on it. Especially at 200.00 a piece!:bash

So, I get behind the seat and find what I think is the relay (a silver box, but it's hardwired to a circuit board?) and diconnect it from the harness. My problem is, the Chiltons manual doesn't cover it and the Shop Manual only troubleshoots the thing if it's NOT going up or down. Mine doesn't turn off. It also looks like the actual switches that shut off the antenna when it's raised/lowered is in the antenna itself. I kinda pieced this together from the Shop Manual. None of the shop manual wire colors match up with the wire colors that are going into the relay. I do know that when I disconnected the relay wiring assembly, the motor wouldn't run afterwards. Any testing suggestions shy of replacing the assembly or antenna? From what I'm seeing in the Shop Manual wiring diagrams, I'm thinking it's the antenna.......
