Default 3dr Electric aerial

I have a problem with the aerial with the 3dr. When the power button is pressed the aerial extends to it's full lenght then when it stops it buzzes really load and doesn't stop until the power button is turned off.

Any ideas lads????

There will be a pair of micrswitches in the aeriel to stop it at its full travel and when inverted,to stop the aeriel motor burning out.

I've never yet seen a limit switch on a electric aerial, just a relay with TIMER, the relay is most likely stuck ON maybe due to a faulty timer.
