Default Circuit breaker info?

Hi,
Does anyone know what this actually controls on a 1975 C3 Coupe? I can’t seem to find an answer anywhere. I think I blew a fuse somewhere because the power ant doesn’t work? It was on a manual toggle switch, I inadvertently connected the acc wire to ground because there were only 2 wires coming from the antenna, a black and a red, after looking back at some photos I took I discovered my mistake. Everything else works in the car, so I’m at a loss.

Thanks in advance for your help and patience with this old man.

That’s the power window circuit breaker. No power antennas on a 1975 though. Whatever you have must be from a later car or aftermarket.

Thank you so much. Apparently that is the ground, but someone has cut back the blue wire that triggers the antenna, I’ll be back on it tomorrow. Thanks again.
