Default Bose Help?

Bose 101, can anyone tell me what the single white wire is and the plug with 2 wires. I'm guessing pink is for antenna. I plugged the radio into car and the antenna started to go up and stopped, now when I power the radio the antenna relay just clicks, is it bad?

dont worry about the white wire. Most vettes don't use it. Does the radio play? Check fuses. Radio and CTSY

very good chance your amp relay is bad. It could also be the rado. Just be sure your fuses are good

Direct wired the antenna to test and it works. Found the 15 amp fuse in fuse panel and it was blown.

The pink wire is the signal to turn on the speaker amps.

Ok, are you talking about the single wire with the black plug, or the white plug with the 2 wires? The one I am asking about is the white plug with 2 wires.

Should be the 12V (Orange) but I cant remember if it's constant power or only when the ignition is on. I do know that if you opt out of a Bose main unit but keep the Bose amps with speakers, the kit that allows you to do so has this attachment that plugs into that plug. I'm not sure what the brown wire on that plug is for but it's either another ground or has something to do with the amps.
