Wiring Issues: A31 Aerial Not Working With Stereo

[Mrlag]

I am unable to figure out which wire makes the automatic aerial go up.

The standard nissan wiring diagram didnt even match the wires shown in my car

Does anyone know which wire should be the aerial in the a cefiro would be good if somone could tell me

Regards,

Stephen

That was the same as me, until a few days ago.. Now it wont go down at all, hear the motor trying to retract it, but nothing happens. Ive been wanting to lower it so it doesnt come up at all, just looks so damn wierd.

do you still have the factory plugs on yours?

if so:

and yours is the top one. the colours may not match but the pinning WILL.

If you do manage to lower it, you can unplug the loom to the motor in the boot so that it won't try to go up/down when the radio turns on.

That was my plan... when I decided I would do it, mine stopped going down altogether.

Seeing how you are using my thread for other aerial issues

go into your cefiro

Remove gearbox console

Unscrew the 6 screws

remove deck

Check wire to aerial

then tell me which one

Yo, I took had a look at mine today, my head unit only has 1 output for aerial and amplifier, so mine goes up as soon as the headunit turns on regardless if I'm listening to CD or some other auxillary unit, just in case anyone was wondering why theirs doesn't wind down until they turn car off.

The blue wire is the output from the headunit which I have spliced into the factory loom. The wire in question is circled in red in the photo, it's colour is black with a yellow stripe and grey bands. This wire follows through the car to the loom plug at the aerial in the boot, there you can see I've spliced another wire in there to turn my amplifier on too.

Also, while I had my head unit out I decided it would be a good time to tackle the problem of my coin/cup tray not retracting. Some coins had fallen down behind it and were blocking it from closing properly. So I pulled it apart and opened it up and guess what I found.... [/pause for suspense]

Woot, 100Yen

[Mrlag]

Daisu.... I LOVE YOU LONG TIME

Cheers for this

[Mrlag]

Just done it and aerial works when radio is on and goes down when cd etc are on soo good

nice work finding 100yen now all i need to do is fine out where i can get a adaptor plug for my aerial

[daisu]

I thought I was going to need adaptor then I had a closer look and there are two aerial plugs lying around behind the headunit. Whether yours is the same though....

100yen is nothing, when I first bought the car there was $20 (australian) behind the middle seat where it folds down.

My mate found 5 yen in his skyline, I pity him.
