∙ 17y agounder the hood on the right hand side, just in front of the firewall are some relays. under the relays there are some wires that go to the motor. disconnect the coupling.
You can disconnect the power to the electric antenna motor by locating and removing its fuse or relay in the fuse box. Alternatively, you can disconnect the power directly from the antenna motor by locating its wiring and disconnecting it. If these methods don't work, you may need to consult a professional auto electrician.
Disconnect wires at antenna
In my 89 you need to remove the wheel and the inside wheel housing, to get full access to the antenna.
The power antenna is located behind the passenger side front fender behind the front wheel. The motor is shorted out which could be wear and tear or driving through deep water. I think you have to remove the fender to get at it. VBdenny
remove the pass. finder linner and find plug to the motor and disconnect it
I can confirm that the 1993 Caprice Classic also uses Fuse 1 for this, which is painful because now that the power antennas are failing in the - let me keep trying to lower the antenna for the next week while I'm parked in the garage - mode, and you can't get through the wheelwell to get at the motor or under the dash to locate a wire, you need to disable the interior lighting and the power locks. By the way, the fuse box is on the left side of the dash and can only be seen with the drivers door open. The fuse number for your power antenna will depend on what year your Caprice is. For example , on a 1991 Caprice fuse number 1 is used for the power antenna relay as well as other items such as the dome light, underhood light, power door locks, power mirrors etc.
