So my 94 Honda Accord EX's antenna is acting up. Every time it goes up and down it makes a huge sound like it's struggling and can't even go down all the way. I use Satellite radio so I don't use it anyway so I'm wondering if there is an easy way to disable it? Or is this a known problem that is easily fixable?

 

Check to see if it has a fuse, either in the fuse box inside the car or under the hood...then pull it

 

okay. dont pull any fuses. go to your trunk, peel back the trunk lining that the side the antenna is located on. from the antenna, you will notice one thick wire and 2 or 3 wires. you can cut all the wires, just cut one at a time. on most accords if i remeber the wire is yellow with silver. but you can always test the wire to see which you can cut. just dont cut the thick wire. that way you can still use the radio just the antenna does not go up

 

just go to you trunk peel back the liner where the antenna is unplug the grey 3 pin plug when it's in the down position...

 

Bingo! No cutting of wires required. Just unplug the plug, and if you ever wanted to use it again, plug it back in.
