You just have to take off the front left wheel then unscrew the mud cover thing and you should be able to access the arial and replace whats broken.

If the motor is working, it is either a stripped cog or the nylon insert that pushes the aerial up is broken.
You can buy a replacement mast and nylon insert ( all in one )for about $45 from ford. You take it off as FRDXR6 has explained you also need to unplug the aerial lead from inside the passenger side footwell by removing side kick panel. Before buying the part pull it apart and have a look first, the cover comes off the wind up part easily, just watch out that the nylon insert doesn't spring out at you like a snake!!!!! |
