Okay guys I have that annoying broken motor or antenna that just makes that horrific sound when my car is on and I want it to stop. I tried pulling the antenna out but it's pretty well in there so I've decided I would rather just disconnect/cut it and have it not get any power at all. I will just use my MP3 player on the Aux to listen to music in the car.

I tried myself but I was working blind because you can't see anything in there from the little door that opens to get your hand in there. Well today I finally took some pics.

And wires from driverside door sil

I'm not sure which to cut. Could anyone help me in idiot-proof format? Do I cut the blue one on the top or the left or the right ones on the bottom? Is there a way to just cut the wire(s) from my door sil?

Oh and I have a battery relocation if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance for the help guy

You're right. I'll probably try that first. Why does that little space have to be so tiny :P

If you actually unbolt the motor's bracket you can remove the antenna from the car completely, making access to the plugs a lot easier. I know that may have gone right over your head, but think about it for a second. You'll figure it out.
