well, i've always read how antenna motors have been going bad on 4Runners and i figured it was just a matter of time until mine went out. Well, it did.

My antenna is stuck up right now but I can lower it by pushing it down. The antenna motor still thinks it is raising and lowering the antenna but it isn't.

Here are my questions:

is it worth it to buy/repair mine?
is there a fuse that controls ONLY the antenna motor?
is there a better antenna to use that i could possibly put on my roof that is much smaller. Something like a car mountable cell phone antenna
