Power Antenna Wire diagram
Power Antenna Wire diagram OK so this past weekend I tackled the job of getting my broken power antenna to go down (it was jambed in the up position) and I noticed the power plug for it has 3 wires, I'm assuming power, ground and remote, am I wrong?
If so what I would like to do is take advantage of that wiring as its the proper gauge to run my Epicenter (my plan is to hide it back there mounting to one of the screw points on the antenna base), I have NO plan to ever use an antenna in that location again, so what I need is a wiring diagram for the power antenna 3-wire plug for a 99 firebird NON-monsoon.
Thanks.

This has been discussed several times before (search is your friend). You have three wires... orange, pink, and black. Orange has constant (battery) power, pink has power whenever the head unit is powered on, black is ground. The pink wire will work differently with some models of aftermarket head units - some of them lower the antenna (shut off power to the pink wire) when using an audio source other than AM/FM radio (e.g. CD or USB).

Got some nice new (and long enough) RCA cables cables coming so I can finally do this, would of had them today but some Postal worker in Atlanta put the package on a truck to Aiken, SC, then some other Postal worker loaded it onto a delivery vehicle in Aiken, SC before someone realized it wasn't supposed to leave GA.
