I didn't spend too much time on this problem yet and was hoping someone would know the answer to it. I just replaced my power antenna with a new GM unit because the mast was broken and I happened to have a new one laying around. The old unit's motor never made any noise and it had always been plugged in so I thought the motor was toasted as well. After installing the new one it still doesn't do anything. It works fine connected directly to the batt following the wiring diagram. The limit switches work as they should too. When connected to the cars pwr ant harness all three wires have power going through them because both the white AND the green are energized. With the ant unplugged and the ignition off only the white wire is powered as it should be. With the ignition on both the white and the green wires have power going through them both at the plug and at the relay. The power antenna wire to the relay has power when the radio is on and the constant power wire to the relay tests fine as well. I looked all under the dash and cannot figure out where the white wire is getting its power from with the ignition on...I don't really understand the schematics too well but has anybody ever encountered such a situation and is there any other relay in the system?
