I don't need the motor anymore for my power antenna. I was wondering, on the bottom of the motor, there seems to be a thick black chord coming out of it which I can only assume is powering this. Is it safe to cut the chord when the car is off so I don't have to have this broken monstrosity in my celica? No, I don't need to ever hook up another motor to it in the future.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Nvm. I just pulled on it and the wire disconnected and fell out of the bumper on the floor. Haha

No wires were inside. Wierd. What was this insulated hollow chord for?

that is a drainage tube.

yup, drainage tube. Just for future reference though the power antenna has constant power going to it, snipping the 3wire bundle that goes to it would result in a blown fuse (I don't know which one mind you), not the end of the world I guess but the spark and resulting pop may scare you a little

No need to cut any wires, just disconnect the power to it. I don't remember what it looked like, but just pop off the plastic like you already did and there's one wire in there to disconnect, I believe it's on the bottom of the whole assembly.
