There are no fast fixes for the antenna.  When you say you fixed it the
first time, does that include cracking open the motor casing to remove the
old broken piece of cable?  If not, then you suffered a self-inflicted
wound and will have to do the whole procedure again, but this time with
removing all the broken pieces inside.  The only reason the motor runs for
the extra time is because it finds no resistance on the teeth for the
cable and runs until the internal timer expires.  Sorry for the bad news.
