Does the motor at least turn when you turn the radio on and off?

if it is like my Q45, there is a nylon chain that winds up or unwinds when the motor runs. The nylon chain may be broken. Next time you turn on the radio the antenna motor should run, pull on the attenna and see if it comes all the way out. You can purchase a replacement mask at places like crutchfield.

Have you checked the fuse? Are you getting power to the motor?
