[Shotimes] Power Antenna Oddity

[Zach Leahy]

Neat trick!  I bet that got a good laugh the first time you turned the
radio on.

My best guess is that the sntenna is spooled on the reel backwards.  I
am not really sure if it's possible, but sounds somewhat, a tiny bit,
plausible.  Did you repalce just the cord/mast or the whole thing? 
Maybe at sometime they switched directions/polarities.

Sounds like you got is sorted out though.

After double checking the connector (which only goes together one way), the only thing I could think of doing was just cutting and switching the wires between the connector and the motor.  After switching them (I have pictures if anyone wants to see) the motor works as intended. As far as I can see, the car is pretty unmolested, so it doen't seem like someone ever messed with the radio harness.
