My car is a victim of the hack installation and as such the wiring harness is all mangled. I want to get my antenna to work but I need to know the color of the wire. I know it has to be grounded and all, but which wire is it?

The car is an 89 GXL NT Auto. Thanks in advance.

 

those freakin anteanas suck ***! getting it to work properly is not an easy task.

I just removed mine all together.

Although I have a vert, so it might be different.

 

bump

 

what does bump mean?

 

...if I had a euro for every time this question was asked....

"Bump", or "TTT", or "^^^" or whatever are used to just bring the thread to the top without actually adding anything to the thread

And about the wire, damn I know this, I did the installation of my Aiwa MP3R not too long ago....****, my brain is mush right now, cannt remember a thing...I think it had green something on it, but cannt be sure...only way to find out: apply some voltage to the wires. The speakers will just hiss, but the antennae will rise

 

EEEKKKKKK, bad dog, bad dog> trying to melt the wiring in his/her car and the antenna won't rise on a FC.


The wire is Blue/yellow. You will need a relay to invert the Positive amp turn on or Antenna turn on lead from an aftermarket radio to send ground to the factory antenna wire (L/Y).

Let me know if you need to know how to wire the relay.

BTW: just putting voltage to the wires to test, can back feed your ignition switch, blow up speakers (if you held the voltage too long), short out wires that rest at ground, etc.

 

Can you explain how to use a relay to get an aftermarket radio to work with the antenna. As of now, I just have it grounded so the antenna is up whenever the stereo is on. I'd like it to work like it should where it's only up when the tuner is on. Thanks.
