'96 Camry antenna repair?

Miescha · 04-06-08, 05:43 PM

I've read several posts on repairing the antenna mast/motor etc. .. on a TLC, but I've never had the problem. However, my neighbor has a '96 Camry and the antenna doesn't go up. It looks like many of the interior parts and non-offroad parts are very similar. Does anyone know what parts are needed for repair or replacement of the camry antenna?

If it matters, when the car is first started, I can hear the motor running on the antenna, but it doesn't move. I'm told that over the course of several weeks the antenna will actually go up a bit, but never get past 1/4 . It can be easily pushed back down at any time.

Any advice including part numbers and estimated prices would be appreciated.

I am not coming up with a part # in the 60 section......which my 62 looks just like my 92 Camry antenna from what i can tell externally.

Search the 80s section maybe or take his out and run to Adavce and see if make something up.......they sell a bunch of universal ones.

Here is a example from Autozone

Pull it out and see if the cable is broken or if the mast is broken. Whatever it needs, order it and reassemble.
