Did you replace it with OEM? It sounds like relay is hooked up backwards. If I remember correctly, GM uses +signal to relay and typical aftermarket radios(alpine, etc...) uses negative to the relay. Maybe the other way round.

I replaced it with a generic but it looked exactly the same. Same shape, same mounting holes, same 3 wires coming out of it, though different colors.
At this point I have just unplugged the relay while the antenna was in the down position.
