Depending on where you live or how you store your car, your attenna assembly may just get soaked into moisture/water and eventuall got stuck (not operating).
It is real easy to detect if it is motor or mast, you can hear motor "rolling" noise when you turn your key (right before you actually ignite car). If you don't hear any motor rolling even if you turn the radio on, chances are your motors are out. Then, try to find some replacement motor.. you don't need to order Acura genuine which costs 300~400 bucks easily. Search ebay.
If your motor is still rolling, it is attenna mast, which is relatively A LOT cheaper and easy to replace..

Typically the mast nylon drive breaks at about 50,000 - 60,000. That is usually all it is. Do a search, there are many threads on it.
Yeah does anybody know where to get that shark fin looking antenna for the legend? I remember seeing it and I'm having the same problem with my antenna but instead I have no antenna and i've heard that those pick up more clearly. Can anybody help with that?
those are universal no specific one and dont quote me but I heard that they're for satellite radio only I thinkMarvelLegend said:Yeah does anybody know where to get that shark fin looking antenna for the legend?
