Why does stereo accessory wire does not work with aftermarket stereo on 2002 intrigue?

I put an aftermarket system in my intrigue, and don't recall a "stereo accessory wire". Do you mean the power antenna wire? Or is this a wire on your aftermarket box? Here's a GM diagram: http://www.installdr.com/Harnesses/GM-Wiring.pdf


Will a damaged antenna cable to an aftermarket stereo prevent the stereo from turning on?

no. first check fuses. check ground. check for voltage to memory, and switched power to radio. the only time the antenna would affect the radio in that manner is if the ground was connected to the antenna.


How do you fix Celica power antenna?

check the fuse to make sure it's good and if it is your probably better off buying an aftermarket power antenna for it or go with a regular antenna.


You are installing an aftermarket stereo in your 1998 GMC Suburban and everything works right except the two rear door speakers you noticed when replacing the door speakers with brand new high end one?

The GMC stereo has amplified rear door speakers. When wiring up the aftermarket stereo, connect the blue wire on a GM aftermarket harness to acc power and the speakers will work. I did the same thing for mine about 5 years ago. Good Luck...


What is a power antenna wire on a car stereo?

This is only used if your vehicle has a motorized antenna that pops up only when the radio is on, then retracts when the radio is off. A voltage is sent from the stereo through this wire to a relay which applied power to the antenna. If you don't need it the wire from the stereo should be capped off to prevent a short occurring if it were to ground out under the dash somehow.


Where is the relay switch located for the driverside powerwindow and antenna in a 99 firebird.?

The antenna relay is on the power antenna itself(in the trunk.) a wire goes from the radio harness to tell the antenna there is power to the stereo and then the antenna goes up when it gets that signal(just by the 12volts going to the relay.)


How do you fix an 99 eclipse power antenna?

you don't.. can't replace mast.. the best thing to do is buy an aftermarket/universal power antenna or go hunt for a working one at your local junkyards.


Can you install a power antenna on a 1996 jeep grand Cherokee limited?

Yes but I'm not sure the benefits of doing so would ever be worth the hassles you'd encounter getting into the very small spaces that the drive motor has to be mounted and if you have an aftermarket stereo in the jeep you'll have to figure out the wiring. Most people want to replace a defective power antenna with a plain one.


Where is the radio antenna located on a 2006 Ford Fusion?

on the 2006 models of the ford fusion. the radio antenna is embedded in the back glass with the rear defrosters. It's important to know that when installing aftermarket radio you should connect pin 5 on the radio harness to a switched 12v source. If not done this will cause problems with radio reception! pin 5 is the antenna's booster power wire and was originally powered off of the stock radio but the aftermarket radios do no supply this power source. I reccommend using a relay and the remote antenna wire and 12v constant wires off the new radio harness to make this connection! this will allow the the remote wire to switch the relay on and off when the radio powers on, and connect the the tapped 12v constant wire to the antenna booster power! thats how i would do it!


Installed a new stereo in your car the radio works just fine but the CDs dont work its a sony stereo and its about a year old any answers?

Some headunits share a power antenna & remote wire are the same wire. If it is hooked up to power antenna and not hooked up to factory amp there is no signal to tell amp to power up


Installing a cb radio in Chevy Impala?

Installing a CB radio in a Chevy Impala begins which installing the mount and location a suitable power source. The radio is then mounted to the dash, wired up, and the antenna connected.


My radio only works when the headlights are on in your 99 Chrysler sebring JXI does anyone know what could be causing this?

If it is an aftermarket stereo then i would say that the installer tied into the dashboard illumination or headlight power wire for 12 volt power for the stereo.
