Needless to say, we know where it came from...

I think he wanted everybody to go out and measure their antenna to see who had the longest one (literally!)

Still doesn't work.

Is the radio getting power?

Mine looks like it was replaced by a PO who did a sh!tty job. The wires connected to the antena look like a cob web under the rear fender. It quit working about 3 months ago and I haven't messed with it. I do have a switch installed in my console to raise and lower it on command.

Yeah. It's aftermarket. Alpine, but, it didn't work before I had the new radio put in. I have a feeling it's because of the new radio now though.

That should be an easy one then... blue wire out of the back of the radio goes to power antenna.
