[QUOTE="jfmorris, post: 28887, member: 13408"] Sorry to hear you are having issues. I would confirm that there is 12V on the wire to the Metra adapter when the radio is on, just to be sure. If your truck didn't have a power antenna originally, I am wondering if that wire in the harness has power to begin with. As I noted, I went with a red switched accessory power wire, that is on any time the key is in the ON or ACC position. To be honest, I've not seen too many vehicles with a power antenna at all since the 90's, and certainly not a GM truck or SUV, so choosing that wire might be the issue. That said, as you mention - the antenna itself, or the amplifier in the antenna base, could be messed up. [/QUOTE]
