Quick question about wiring for my radio...

[Daven]

OK so i have my kenwood deck in there and everything else works...but my radio lol Its been like this forever and bugged me, but i REALLY dont wanna take off the dash and investigate again ... and its cold out lol

So i thought all i had to do was plug the antena into the port, so thats what i did. But now it wont pick up anything. So i am guessing that there is a wire that goes to the antena and works as a turn on switch like the amp turn on wire. This is correct right? Radio worked on stock HU before i ripped it out (unfortunately... i mean that literally :/)

So what wire would this be? Anyone know the colour offhand by chance? lol

Thanks

no wire that goes to your antenna, just the big black plug in.

You are thinking of the power antenna wire, but you don't have a power antenna, and even then you would still pick up some radio stations, just not very well. Check your antenna wire as stated and if its plugged up, you might have to chase the wire back to the antenna as there is another plug, and if you have pulled it too hard, then you may have disconnected it
