WEll i installed a S5 antenna on my S4 gxl. Everything was fine i connecteed the plug in back of the radio that makes the motor turno on when the radio is turned on. Well it didnt work. My antenna does not go up. i check the 10 amp fuse and it was fine.

DOes the antenna have a built in fuse? Or is the motor shot as well? Or could it be something else

Here are soem pics










Thanks

Although I'm sure a Mod is gonna come behind me and lock this thread...I'll tell you anyway. You need to put a relay in the circuit for the antenna. There are directions in the FAQ as well as in many MANY threads that have already covered this issue. Search is your friend. If you don't know where to get a relay, Icemark sells them at www.mazdamark.com

 

Mazda power antennas use a negitive trigger, while all aftermarket radios use a positive trigger.
