Default Power Antenna Wiring Question

Anyone happen to know which color wire is the +12V for UP?

I have the power antenna apart as I needed to clean-out the remains of the plastic ribbon and of course replace the mast/ribbon...but need to know which color wire is for which direction.

I would assume it is the same as my C4 '96 but it is not.

Wire colors are orange and pink for the positive side, black for negative or return.

And no I do not have my service manuals yet.

Thanks

For 2001 the Orange wire is power for driving the motor. The Dark Green wire is for the relay to drive the motor Up or Down. Based on your year (which we have no idea) the Pink should be for the relay.

Let me now if you want the schematic. I have all the years.

PS: You might find a Pink wire in place of that Dark Green one for the relay as this 2004 had.
