1G Power Antenna Speed Question (1G, GVR4, 3000GT)

[Drewpy Dawg]

The power antenna relay in the 1G era cars has an internal timer that sends power to the antenna motor just long enough for it to extend or retract. There are no limit switches in the motor assembly. (2G cars may be the same but I'm just focused on the earlier models at the moment.) Can anyone tell me how long it takes for the antenna mast to fully extend or retract? Is it like 3 seconds, 5 seconds, etc? Thanks.

I'd say about 5 sec
