Re: [DMCForum] Antenna Fuse

> What size fuse will i need for my power antenna?

Since no one else has answered this question, I'll offer my educated
guess.
I suppose that the installation directions for the original antenna
relocation kit offered by DMC should specify the proper value.  And the
kit
should come with a fuse of the proper value.  But what is this value?  I
just checked a restoration project car that has this kind of antenna, and
the fuse holder is empty!

So my educated guess is that the fuse should be not less than 5 amps and
not
more than 10 amps.  First start with a 5 amp fuse.  If this blows then try
a
7.5 amp fuse.  If it blows on that then try a 10 amp fuse but watch it
closely.  If with a 10 amp fuse it blows or the motor stalls and does not
blow the fuse then try a new antenna motor with a 5 amp fuse.  A 10 amp
fuse
may be pushing the safety limit.

Let us know what you find so that we can add it to the presently
non-existent technical section here.
