My aerial has suddenly stopped working,no whirring,nothing!
Ive checked all the fuses and they all seem to be ok.

Anyone point me in the right direction?
Worked fine untill i turned the radio on this morning and it failed to go up!

check to see if there is a blown in-line fuse on the blue wire at the back of the radio.

Yeah but it was perfect up untill last night :mad:

Just been out and checked fuse 28? again and that seems fine.

Think i might try and power it up direct tomorrow and see if its the aerial itself,was going to fit a stumpy Z4 one anyway,so now might be a good time!

Dan,going to send you a PM now so give me 5 minutes then go check :)

Try removing ariel and putting it across battery to see if its the ariel it self.

Bit easier to "bring" the battery to the aerial with a few feet of wire!
Connect the blue wire to 12V+ first, and see if anything happens..
