Can you tell me how to wire a power antenna?

Answer by  alexsoko (47)

A power antenna will usually have two sets of wires - two wires for moving the antenna up and down, and one wire for the antenna signal. First connect the power wires and then connect the signal wire.

Connect a 12v power source, and put a switch (use on/off switch, not momentary switch so that the antenna can retract after the car is turned off) between the antenna wiring and power source. connect ground if there is one cable for ground.

The green wire provides power to raise the antenna. When the power from the green wire is removed(i.e. radio turned off), the power from the red wire retracts the antenna. The green wire power source could be controlled by an on/off toggle switch, if you so desired.

If you're referring to an antenna within a car audio system then you will need to bring your wiring to split from your power source (generally an amp) and to your audio system.
