Help. My 2000 4-runner's radio antenna motor makes a grinding noise when ever I turn the motor on or off. I have lived with it for the past year, but now it is driving me crazy.

I don't want to spend $200-250 to get it fixed, and I don't mind if the antenna just stays up. Can I just somehow disconnect the motor? I looked to remove a fuse, but I do not see a fuse just for the antenna. There is one for "accessorys" but I don't want to loose power to anything else.

Does anyone have any advice?

Thank you
