Pat,

I think the problem was probably moreso with the door not grounding to the tractor . It sounds like the antenna bracket was connected very good to the mirror bracket ; but, remember the only thing conducting a ground to the tractor is that door hinge and /or latch !

Pan,
Have you had your radio "tweaked and peaked"?
On 29's the light will start coming on after they've been worked on. Just stop in a shop and have them check the SWR (should be done for free) if nothing is wrong and no work is done. If they check out ok dont worry about it. Or have them disconnect the light.
No big deal...
