Missing antenna

Lambera · 7-31-04, 21:27

A week ago I pull the old stereo and let everything thing sit till I could get the new wiring harness. For the life of me I can not find the antenna cable. I have pulled the carpet on the passenger front and its not under their. Where could it be? I have the 2 white plugs and one black plug , which I have no idea what that is for. I had posted this in the Stereo section last week but didnt get a good responce. If some one could look at their wires and see which way the the ant wire goes or what other wires it follows.

Thanks.

Here it is : http://www.installdoctor.com/Harnesses/Mazda-Wiring.pdfI think you need Acrobat Reader to see this. If you don't have it go to Adobe Acrobat Reader.
As you can see the power antenna is the E pin on your connector.

Hope it help.

Thats not what I am looking for. I know what an ant. wire looks like. Mine is gone but was their. I need some one to look at their wire and tell me where it goes so I can find mine. Also that doc didnt show the little black plug I have. Wierd.

Little black plug your talking about is probably the ground.

Ok I found it finally! It comes out of the frame between the shifter and pass seat. It had fallen back under the seat. Dont see how that black plug can be the ground because then the wireing harness I bought should have a hookup for it. O well. Ill just run a ground if I have to.

the black plug is the part that brings the radio waves from the antenna to your headunit. i assume the blue wire is just to power it. i just replaced my old headunit yesterday with a kenwood! damn best headunits around IMHO. Enough of headunit talk, save it for the audio/electronics forum

No it turned out to be the ground wire plug. I have never seen that before but its all install and working great. Any idea why their are 2 ant wires? One normal size and one small. The OEM deck had 2...
