Testing the power antenna operation
 

Is there any way to test the power antenna without hooking it up to a stereo? I just want to have it go up and down to see if it clears my spoiler.

the connectioin going to the stereo is a ground right??
maybe look in the FAQ and see which wire it is.
then you can just ground it?

Correct, with the key in the ACC or ON position, ground the blue/yellow wire at the stereo harness and the antenna will raise. Remove the ground and it'll lower.
