Default Antenna Plug In?



Where do theses 2 leads from the antenna plug in?


Last thing for today, my radio antenna does not retract, so investigation has led me to find that there are 2 leads coming from the antenna and I can not find anywhere t plug them in. Any help appreciated.

Not sure if it is me missing something here, but they plug into each other. The lower plug is the feed from the head unit.

I went and tried, no luck not that simple. I just got this car so it is not even impossible that this is an aftermarket antenna. All I know is 2 wires hanging and nowhere to stick them.

I'll look at mine later today and double check but there is a female plug attached to the power ant on the side against the fender that the signal wire for the up/down attaches to. One of these probably plugs in there.

Daro31, I just had everything apart in the boot looking for any gremlins and they won't show their ugly head. Anyway, had the lap top with me and looked at the pictures, for the life of me I could not find those two leads.
Hope you were able to sort it out? Did you find out were they go?

Thanks for taking the time, wonderful of you. I undid the 2 screws that holds the antenna and turned it to expose a place for a plug, unfortunately one of the ones I have fit. This car had a hit on the back levt orner before I got it. It shows on car facts as a $1300.00 ding so I figured that wasn't to serious on a jag.
Now I am suspecting the antenna may have been replaced with a wrong model. Radio works great antenna is just stuck half way up.
Happy New Year.
