make sure the plug goes behind the deck for the antenna is plug in... if this comes loose then your antenna will not come up..

once this is checked and it is ok, then i beleive the motor in your antenna is stuffed.. happen with me, just replace the antenna dude...might set you back $55 for an auto antenna.

PUSHEAD - sorry to say, YOU ARE 100% WRONG.

Even in your thread that refers to preditor666's thread, he clearly states:

" The slashed ones are the stripey ones in the two colours.

Green/red - Power Antenna up/down "

When the radio is turned on, it sends a +12V signal to power antena. This triggers a relay which uses a separate 12V line to power the motor up or down. Ground is via body. If you are using the tape deck or cd player there is no voltage on this wire, thus the antena remains down.

Zdenko - Did your inital problems come about by themselves, or did you install a new head unit (or something else) and then the problems presented themselves?

PS: Please PM me once you have answered the question, so that i can respond, as i may forget to revisit this thread. Also include the thread title.

hmmm...don't hard wire stuff! Its a quick and dirty solution, and what happens if you do get a short.. BZZTT who knows what u could blow

Something I discovered last night (after being pulled over by the cops.. oops :).. the tail lights are on the same circuit for the dash lights (speedo, etc). The "tail light" (10A) fuse in the back fusebox is the same circuit for the speedo/tacho, dash lights

Also: many plugs need to be closed or you'll get open circuit and other things attached to the circuit may not work. Disconnect the hazard button plug and you'll notice that your indicators no longer work!! (i discovered this yesterday too... ooops :P but didn't get pulled over for that one)

hehehe: thanx Al :( yup, i think thats pretty much how it all works, so check the separate fuse for the aerial. I think its in the boot fusebox.

The antenna control wire simply is 12v which triggers the motor circuit to go up or down (toggle). Make sure its connected, or otherwise rigged to ACC or connect your own switch.

Please explain, as i work as a electronic feild technecian and consider soldiering and covering with heat shrink to be the best and safest way to connect wires.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
