HELP Power Antenna Motor won't stop running!!!!

[87we4turbot]

I walked up to the car this morning and the power antenna was running. It is an off an on thing. The antenna is stuck in the up position. I tried a block of wires by the antenna mast but it wasn't it. Pulled the power accs fuse, the radio fuse...neither stopped it. Does anyone know which fuse or relay will stop it??? I have no tools to pull the battery cable or i would have just done that

WOO HOO Thanks for the help!!! I pulled down the glove box and found the wires...i ended up pulling the orange,pink, and black connection next to the green,grey,white. Soon as i pulled it the noise stopped!!!! Next question is....is the motor bad or is it the mechanism that pulls the antenna..or is that all one combined thing??

The nylon cable that pushes the antenna up and pulls it down is probably broken. The best fix is to replace this cable. Instructions are here: http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/bodygauges/antenna.html
