fuel pump running all the time?
I have not driven my 1986 for about a month. I always disconnect the battery after a drive. I went out this morning to get ready for a ride and when I hooked up the battery I heard what I assumed to be the fuel pump running . This has never happened before, I could hear the fuel pump come on when the ignition switch was turned to on. Then it would stop. I thought that the pump pressured up and then turned on and off as needed while driving. Is this something others have encountered?

correction not fuel pump, antenna motor
I traced the noise further and found it to be the antenna motor that was running at all times. I don't use the radio, so I'm at a loss as to how this would just break. But at least I know where the noise is. Now, how do I shut down the antenna motor so it does not run all the time?

Don't know if there is an antenna fuse tho. Never checked.
