Im trying to see if I can make the power antenna come up. It has three wires comming from it. I traced the wires to some kind of I guess relay? is there a way I can jump start it ? one wire green , white, beige. The funny thing when they go to what I call a relay the colors are green gray and white and they seem to come out yellow orange and black

might have narrowed down the problem. There is current going into the antenna relay. Two hots and a ground but nothing coming out to antenna from the relay. Why is there a relay needed?frstvette 2007-04-24 14:40:41


Relay is needed to switch the wire combinations around.
To raise the antenna: Gray wire is (-), Green wire is (+).
To lower the antenna: White wire is (+), Green wire is (-).
Note how the green is both + and -.
DON"T cross the gray and white.
Can you hear the antenna motor run? Broken nylon leader is the most common cause of these not working. They break from lack of use and they break from normal use, ya just can't win! Mike
