Antenna Wiring
I have a 1990 C4 that I am helping my sone restore. The original Bose radio was replaced with an aftermarket radio so the wiring is a bit messed up to say the least. I have figured most of it out but I am having trouble with the antenna. More specifically on the antenna side I have a (Black, Pink, Orange) wires going into the relay and (White, Green, Grey) going to that antenna. The pink is hot with 12 volts when the radio is on. Can someone tell me what each wire is for or provide a a schematic so I can figure this out. As of right now the antenna is stuck in the up position. The motor on the antenna does not turn on. Also under the dash what wire / color should the remote be connected to as to energize the antenna. Forgot to mention when the radio is turned on the relay does click as it is energizing but no voltage out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated -

Thank you, THANK YOU - I had pink power but none on the ORANGE wire. Traced the circuit and found the remote wire incorrectly wired, corrected and it works like a charm up/down all day long. I would have still been struggling if not for the schematic you saved my Saturday.
