Guys:
OK, I posted on this a while back and got some replies, and I tried to connect them like was suggested, but it didn't work. Maybe I connected them wrong, but I want to make sure I don't fry another part by just trying different connections. I think I need to describe what I have better to get the correct answer. Please bear with me... I have 3 wires coming from my power antenna. 1 is the fat black antenna signal wire (I have this connected). 2 is a thin blue with white tracer. 3 is a thin blue with red tracer. I assume the antenna is grounded where it's mounted to the car. One of the thin wires brings the antenna up and the other brings it down. It makes sense to me that the up wire should be connected to the keyed 12V, so it goes up when the key is turned. Then where does the down wire connect to? I think I remember someone suggesting the remote wire from the amp connecting to the up wire and then both to keyed 12V, but I'm not sure. Can someone please tell me exactly how to connect this thing? I bought a new amp and am planning on some quality 914 time tonight, so hopefully, I can stop bugging you guys about this and get to my clutch pedal issue... Thanks! Andy...

Guys:
Thanks for the posts. I bought a new stereo and amp. I decided not to mess around with old stuff that might be kuput and that I had no history with. I DID connect the remote stereo wire and amp remote wire and power antenna wire all together. The sound stopped when I connected the antenna wire (either one). When I removed the antenna wire. (but left the other 2 connected), the sound came back. I seems like I can't get the stereo to control the antenna at all. I guess I assumed the antenna was grounded properly since I didn't mess with it and it worked with the old stereo (before I started messing around). I'm pretty sure this is a dealer installed antenna, but I have to info on it and the PO is no help. I did add a ground wire from the case of the stereo to the chassis, but I didn't have it connected before and I still had this problem. There is no antenna connection on the amp. Still stumped! I'll take another look tonight. Thanks for the help! Andy... |
