Default 1978- electrical connections for power antenna

Hello,

Can anyone tell me where the electrical connections are for the antenna? I need to remove my antenna and noticed the connections were not under the car- how much interior stuff need I remove to unhook it?

Thanks,
Dan

In '79 they run to the left rear corner behind the left rear speaker, and out the bulkhead that way.

Yep, look behind the driver side speaker or blockoff panel.
If nothing there, you gotta go to the relay under the center armrest all the way to the rear. You can access the relay by removing the pass side carpeted side panel on the console.
I cut and spliced the wires under the car and pushed them through the rubber grommit to be hidden behind the speaker on one of mine since the correct antenna I found didn't have a connector anyway.

The assembly instruction manual (AIM) will have a diagram of the whole set up.
