When I purchased my LX450, the power antenna was disconnected and laying loose inside of the passenger side front fender. I yanked it out and took it apart to retrieve the (broken) plastic portion of the mast. I bench tested it with 12V and installed a new mast. All was good.
I reinstalled it only to get no action from the UP/DOWN button. I started troubleshooting with a voltmeter and noticed no power was getting to the antenna. I searched mud and found a few articles that described a relay as well as a ECU. I could not find either in the vehicle. I am speculating that the PO took them out for some reason?
So if you have an LX450, can you help me with figuring out where these things go and if I am truly missing them?
I looked for the ECU in the passenger side kick panel. There is an ECU up high that I cannot read or see the PN on. I assume this is the 4x4 ECU. I believe the antenna controller is mounted below it, but there is nothing but two empty threaded posts on my truck.
Also on other trucks (including my 80) there is a thing that looks like a heat sink right near the power antenna, mounted to inner passenger fender well. I am not sure if this is the relay or something entirely different. Any help would be appreciated from fellow LX owners.
If I am in-fact missing both... Anyone have them?
