Buick/Olds: radio wiring color codes, power antenna, blown fuse


Question
I have put a Kenwood stereo in my car; a 1994 Buick Regal Grand sport, & I need to know which color wire in the radio harness to hook up to so my power antenna will work.

Thanks

Answer
Usually in a GM vehicle, the orange wire with the grey stripe is the power antenna.  The way to tell for sure is the hook up the rest of the wires and you should have 2 or 3 wires that are left without connections.  Touch each wire individually to the power wire inside of the car.  The antenna will power on when the wire is touched.  There isn't usually any lasting effects of this method with the exception of a blown fuse, which may or may not occur, when you're testing the wires.
