Default Power antenna fuse or relay?

My power antenna motor went out. And my antenna is up. Slowly after my antenna motor went out my battery keeps draining.. I'm thinking it keeps trying to lower the antenna down.

Is their a fuse or relay I can pull to see if that's my problem? Or can someone point me in the direction of fuse box/block diagrams? It started happening soon after my antenna went out so I'd like to start there. Nothing is labeled that I see, besides the DME relay.

Any input appreciated, thanks.

early or late model 944?
early the relay is located on the motor housing, and is connected to fuse #3 on some. have seen it connected to a few different fuse's but #3 seems most common

Early car. I found a schematic saying the radiator fan and power antenna run off the same fuse.. Pretty sure I don't want to pull that fuse. If I pull the relay, will it think the antenna is down?

Also, how do I get access to the antenna motor without removing the fender?

you can reach behind the fender and access it by removing the charcoal canister, if you have one. its not hard to get to at all
