Broken Antenna Motor (2000 4Runner)

[ethanlamb]

I want to simply disconnect my broken antenna motor so that I won't have to deal with the awful grinding noise that it makes when I start and stop the engine.

Does anyone have a picture of where this motor can be disconnected?

Thanks.

Never mind! I found a prior posting that had included a picture of where to cut the blue wire coming out of the front passenger quarter panel and into the engine compartment. I had to undo 2 screws to move a couple bracket out of the way to get access but after that, snip!, and no more noise!

Did you do the taco whip mod or did you just leave your antenna up?
