s5 Vert power antenna....

Hello, I did a search and really couldn't find anything that would help me, but I'm sure someone will post a link to what I need.

Anyway, I can't get my PA to work, I did notice that when I installed a new Alpine(there was no stereo in the car)stereo, there were 2 ant cables. One was a female and the other the typical male end. Of course I used the male end because that's what the Alpine required. Do I need to use both of those antenna connectors?


I did find a thread that shows how to test the antenna to see if it works and I'll try that shortly. I can't get any stations because of the antenna being down.

Oh our cars are old lol, so the relay of the wiring is revered the antenna is pushing positive out to your deck so and your deck acts as a negative with the black wire.

All I did was I installed a switch, flipped it on if im using the radio and when im not flip it off. I will record a small vid or take some pics to show you. thats unless you don't want to do what I did.

your car still has it old wiring right?
Be prepared in the process you might blow a 7.5 or 5 fuse no biggie
