Hi everyone. I read the howto on the antenna switch, and went "SWEET!".
I've put a switch between the wires (pink/blue) and (black/red), and it works fine... at raising the antenna. The only problem is... simply disconnecting those two wires doesn't lower the antenna. How does the antenna system work? The only way for me to lower it at the moment is by turning off the tape deck.. which kind of defeats the whole purpose soo... Which wires power the antenna down? Is there actually a way to wire a switch to make the antenna go up and DOWN, or was the writer of the how-to just full of ****? (I'm a little pissed because I dont want to have cut my factory wires for nothing.) Please help!  Arg.. Now the reception is non existant. Is the pink/blue wire the antenna-receceiving line? I wired the pink/blue back together, but the reception is still completely gone. Any thoughts? This post has been edited by kamixZR: Mar 10, 2003 - 6:22 AM |

The antenna signal is carried through a thick piece of coax cable with a special connector on it. It plugs into the back of the radio into it's own connector. Just look for a thick black wire... looks like cable tv wire just a hair thinner if I remember the connector is on the back of the radio but way off to the side. None of the wires in the harness carry signal.
The antenna connector looks like this http://www.partsexpress.com/images/090-455m.jpg As far as the 12v supply. Just find the pink/blue and black/red coming off the deck and use them for the supply. Just connect them so that when the switch is on it's like there is no switch at all. Both of the wires trigger a relay pack and timer at the antenna and they have to work together. |
