Steve:  I had a problem with my '89 200 going dead--turned out to be the 
switch for the memory seats.  I solved the problem by just turning it 
off, as I am the only driver and have no need for seat memory.  Regarding 
antenna replacements, go to Pep Boys and by a fully automatic Harada.  
You should be able to get one for less that $45.  Sit down first if you 
call the dealer for the cost of the factory replacement.  Installation is 
very easy.  You will have to crimp on new connectors, that's about it.  
Check the drains in your trunk.  They sould as if they are clogged.  
Stiff wire and a blow gun will work to clear it.
