  • Connected to the tip of your antenna is what looks like and we'll call a Zip-Tie just for the ease of this conversation, and it is more than likely the culprit. It is also what usually snaps when auto-up's fail. It also can have a lot of torque pull when being run through the gear motor that drives it to the top. Now, having a perfect, tight, motionless body ground is imperative to completing your stereos functions. With all this gibberish said, what it sounds like, and what it boils down to is, a concern unto where the "ZipTie" was needed to be adjusted when installing, and that probibly not enough slack was left at the base. The result causes that "Zip-Tie" to over extend it's needs upon the bottom portion of the auto-up, and with that extended pull and force upon the whole assembly, it can actually flex, and as such occurs, it can corrupt the ground connection and your grounds need to have a proper contact, and thus your system loses its continuity functionality with the stereo. Check it out, and I hope it works for ya...Peace!
