Sorry for the second post on this but discussing a differend angle.

Before you do anything, I recommend an inspection of the antenna itself to 
identify what is preventing it from lowering. Motors and gears are not 
normally inteligent enough to figure out there is a problem. All they do is 
turn on and off as directed.

Last thing you would want to do is burn up your motor or strip gears because 
something external wasn't sliding right. Also you may wish to consider 
disconnecting the power to the antenna motor since every time you turn 
on/off the radio (wether by the iginition or radio power knob itself) the 
motor will try to raise/lower the antenna.
