All,
I have what I beleive is a good used power antenna motor from a 1996 miata. I bought a new mast for it, but I cannot get it to go up when the radio turns on. I don't have a wiring diagram so maybe someone can help me. I have a 4 wire plug on the motor itself, with the following wires, Blue/red stripe - Tied to B+ with the plug in the car, Green/ white stripe - also Tied to B+ with the plug in the car. Blue/white stripe, I don't see any voltage here, radio on or off. Black/yellow stripe,no power here, either.
This car did not come with a power antenna, there was a rubber plug in the hole for the drain tube, and there were two 4 pin square connectors not plugged in to anything in the engine bay. The one closest to the battery has tobe the one for the antenna, and the motor does run briefly if I plug it in to this plug. The other one is for that little 'fuse block', which I do have, but only two positions are populated on that plug. The pin that lines up with the "Antenna" 10 amp fuse gets b+ when the radio turns on, but it goes nowhere, as the other side of that fuse has no wire(?) I thought the power antenna upgrade was a plug and play? Do you have to run a wire from the little fuse block over to the antenna motor to make it work? It sure seems like the signal to "Go UP!" is not making it to the antenna and I don't know which pin the "Go UP!" signal is supposed to tie into.
Anyone know what I am missing or have a copy of the 1997 wiring manual available for download somewhere?
Thanks, Chris
