'97 EB Power Antenna Help

[97EBX]

Today I purchased a '97 Eddie Bauer...my first Explorer. Most things appear to be in working order with the exception of the power antenna. The guy told me that the dash was disassembled to replace the blower assembly and it hasn't worked since. Anyone know if there is a connector anywhere under the dash that may be unplugged? I pulled the radio and everything appears to be plugged in. Any ideas how to pull the motor assembly if I need too?

Thanks!

Good News!

Found the power antenna problem! There is a connector under the kick panel on the passenger side. The connector has about (8) wires on the one side and a single black wire coming out of the other side. Reconnected that and....VIOLA! Power antenna goes up and down.

On a related subject...now that I have an antenna...the radio works but the sub enclosure in the rear doesn't. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

The sub in the rear quarter panel is powered by the amp thats right next to it. You should have the JBL premium sound system which is a distributed system and since everything else is working (I assume) either the sub itself has gone bad or the connection to the sub is not working right. If you wanna check it, you will need to remove the whole rear quarter panel to get access to it.

Good luck.

Wire Color

Thanks Quakecom...

Does anyone know what color the power wires are feeding the amp? I looked at it last night...It's going to be tough to get that interior panel off. It would be nice to check the power under the kick panel first.

Thanks!
