Luigimon Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Hello Friends, Currently my Antenna goes to full-mast when in ACC/ON, and down when off. I recently replaced the stereo and saw that the antenna switch was still there connected, however when toggled no response from the antenna. I noticed a lime-green wire attached to a solid blue wire (image attched) of the antenna switch and was wondering if anyone has seen this before and knows what it is or what it could be? I tried looking at the wiring diagram but there is no mention of such a wire. I would really love to get the antenna switch to be functional, as it is awkward to have my antenna full-mast when I have no music playing. Thanks!

henrycas Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Try disconnecting the wire and test if it works. If not you can always connect directly to the remote radio antenna ( blue / white )so the antenna will rise whenever your radio is on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrycas Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Remember your antenna needs 12v constant ground 12v swicht, ( acc ), or radio remote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigimon Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 thanks! I'll give that a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigimon Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 alright so I pulled off the lime-green wire and basically when the car is turned to ACC/ON the antenna stays down, but the antenna switch doesn't do anything when I toggle it. So I'm guessing the lime-green wire is just hardwired to ACC and signals for the antenna to go up. Well at least it's down now...i guess if I want to listen to the radio I can just re-attach the lime-green wire to make it go up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrycas Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Just connect the blue / white wire from the radio where it was before the lime / green , so when you turn on the radio, the antenna will rise , and when you turn off the radio, the antenna would drop .
