Fuse #9 is fine, but no power antenna- I tried a working spare as well.

Ideas?

 

Do you have a stock or aftermarket radio ?

 

Stock.

 

I think that there are two power feeds to the antenna - one through fuse #9 which supplies power to the antenna motor, and a second which comes from the head unit which, I think, energises a circuit with a relay (or two ?) inside the antenna to switch the motor on & off and up & down. This is a green / black wire. If it doesn't work with two antennae - would be worth checking that you have 12volts on this wire too (when the head unit is switched on obviously)
There is also a ground / earth connection which would be worth checking - might have vibrated loose ?

 

Thanks David-

What colors on the connector am I looking for for ground/power?

 

Looks like there should be three wires :
1. Brown / Green = 12v + from fuse box.
2. Green / Black = 12v+ from head unit.
3. Black - ground (probably a short wire to a ground stud close to the antenna)


1. must be "always live" - otherwise the antenna wouldn't retract when the ignition was switched off and the key removed because the motor needs power to do that.

 

had the same issue with my unit finally installed a toggle switch in trunk to a hot wire when ignition is on or can flip it off at car wash etc.
