Default Automatic antenna? 91 laredo

Hey guys apparently the laredo package cherokees came with a antenna that went up and down when you turned the ignition over? But yet I don't think mine came with one ? Only reason am asking is because the radio has power but nothing but static...and I think the antenna is broken and the only ones I can find online are the automatic ones that go and and down.

my laredo, of 1990 vintage has power antenna. it was as far as I reckon, stock. a non powered antenna can be used. perhaps your antenna is busted. if one of them rubber types, yes they can fail.

attach a temporary clothes hanger antenna to the antenna wire as a test to see if that improves things, if so, that points to a failed antenna.

take a gander at the radio. sometimes the plug can come out for the antenna connector that or they just installed the static antenna and never hooked it up

Now now, lets not assume, have you considered the possibility that a Peair Cardone three piece suit with gold cuff links and silk tie hangs on my coat hanger?
