unhook the coax and check it with a ohm meter to see if the ground is shorted to the center pin. make sure you have the antenna mounted properly so the main antenna is not shorted to ground. the plastic spacer goes on top to keep the antenna from shorting to ground. the only part of the antenna that should be grounded is the bottom section. make sure the bottom portion is grounded good to the fram. you may have to scrape paint off the bottom potion where the stud goes through. it needs a good ground for that portion.
