I am putting a new DVD player stereo in my 92.I had an aftermarket system in it and hooked it all back up the same but now my antenna will not come up ...Any idea where to look or is the new system not triggering it.

I'd say the new system is not triggering it. The antenna relay is under the plastic cover under the rear window, and the controller is under the glove box on the 90-92.

Ill check all this out ,in reference to the pink wire,I have 1 and thats what the other stereo antenna wire was hooked to .But when I got this car this guy or someone had a big mess under the console with wires and gages and crap, so everytime i work on the car i deal with redneck engineering at its worse ,and bare wires here and there and everywhere even with masking tape on soldered speaker wires...grrrr
