ALL OF A SUDDEN, MY ANTENNA WILL NOT GO DOWN WHEN THE RADIO IS TURNED OFF. COULD IT BE A FUSE?

Do you live in the land of ice and snow? Could be iced up. Or the antenna motor could have burned out. Can you hear the motor coming on? If you can hear the motor, then most likely the nylon cable has broken. You can buy a replacement on Ebay for $20 or you can get the whole antenna and motor for around $50. Here's a link with instructions if you plan to do it yourself. http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/topic/42394-1999-rx300- antenna-andor-motor-replacereapir-complete-instructions/
