anyone got a power antenna wiring diagram
ok my dash has been in and out several times now to find i have a severe short i traced the short to the cig lighter and power antenna.
heres what bubba did they wired the steady power supply for the power antenna to the hot of the cig lighter. with all that hooked up poof fuses go like mad. with the cig lighter not hooked up its ok.
i would like to put the power antenna the way it should be and not blacked tape sliced into the cig lighter hot.
bad enough i had a radio installed by a stereo shop and good lord they did the worst job i ever seen. just goes to never let anyone do work thats hidden by dash or other places. and do it yourself if you want the job done right

Thanks a ton guys thats exactly what i am looking for. 
Now to get rid of the bubba splicing if you even wanna call it that think bubba coulda done better.
ok it states in this diagram the lighter does somewhere run into that too but at 20 amp fuse i am popping them any suggestions still need to fix bubbas' splicing
anyone got a picture of a 77 fuse block i got 2 orange wires from the bat terminal ones been clipped should there be 2 or just one thinkng thats my short area as to much being drawn on 1 wire if there should be 2 and both used

ugh i am a idiot at times asked for corvettes central's conversion info and maybe i should try looking at their site a lil better doh link says installation instructions right there lol
well figured this one out guys thatnks again learn something new everyday did not know 77's did not come with power antennas
just gotta run the hot wire on something a lil better then the lighter wire as they did. corvette's central instructions state either connect to battery or a hot ingition switch lead. not the lighter hot wire ugh damn it bubba.
once again thanks guys for the help
