Will I still need the relay setup that is discussed in the FAQ if I'm just changing the power antenna?

If you are changing the power ant and still have a stock radio, you will need a relay, however if you do not have a stock Mazda Radio and you are changing the power antenna you will not need a relay.

OK. Great. Thanks for the info Mark. Thats what I thought but the antenna still will not raise. Its a new antenna but maybe it is defective.

aftermarket or Mazda OEM power antenna???

If it is aftermarket and using the Mazda stock radio, you would need to add the relay at the antenna wired as follows:

86 12 volts
85 Mazda radio antenna lead (blue/yellow)
87 12 volts
30 to aftermarket antenna's activation lead (usually Green)
