I have a 96 maxima and the antenea is not going up or down, however I
can hear the motor running when I turn the radio on. The noise has
not bothered me and I get good reception. However, the running of the
motor turned into a banging sound which is very bothersome. It also
runs longet than usual. I am thinking of taking out the fuse to the
motor. I don't know which fuse to take out and am not sure if this
will fix the problem noise without loosing music from the radio. Any
thoughts will be appreciated.

If the motor is running, but the antenna is not coming out, either
the cable is broken or the antenna has actually been ejected and is no
longer in there. The antenna motor is powered by fuse #40 7.5 amp.
Hard to tell from the diagram in the FSM, but it looks like it should
be on the main fuse block. The antenna also gets power from the radio
when it is turned on, so it might still run even if you pull the
antenna fuse. Try it & find out.

You should not lose reception by pulling the fuse. The '96 actually
has 2 antennas, the rod and wires in the back window. Chances are, you
are already getting all your reception through the back window wire.

Fing the antenna assembly and unplug the wire harness. But
not the coax cable.
