    Loss of power to radio antenna

    I just changed over my headunits and my antenna no longer extends. When pressing the switch on the center console to put the Arial down it would only drop to half mast, but I've only just noticed it's now retracted completely and the button on the console does nothing. Is there a fuse for the antenna? Have I blown the antenna motor ? Not sure it's related to the head unit because I've left out no plugs that were connected to the old one .
    Cheers ,
    Ben.

    Just had a closer look at things and the cable for Arial power is part of the head unit loom, which conveniently is NOT hooked up to the loom I bought. Gotta figure out how to connect the wire to the plug.Attachment 63766

    Common problem.

    Easiest solution is to cut the wire and terminate with a single terminal disconnect plug of your choice so you can still easily remove the head unit

    I have the same problem, replacing the Head Unit in 2007 TI. Did you figure out what to do with the blue wire, so the antenna/switch works?
