power antenna HELP!!

[Danny049]

Hey guys, I was installing my new Ipod adapter yesterday and noticed this morning that my power antenna is no longer working. Can anyone help me out on which wire behind the radio is for the power antenna? Or is there a fuse I should check?

btw, its a 1998 Mountaineer with the Premium radio/single CD/casette

so i checked and compared the harnesses from the original harness and the ipod adaper harness, and found that the orange/blue wire (power antenna wire) is not present in the ipod harness. Can i just pull this out of the factory harness connector and put it into the opod one or splice into another wire that will raise and lower the antenna when i turn the radio power off?

The installer guy at Circuit City said they've never had that problem and said it may be missing the wire, so i checked with another ipod adapter they had and there was no difference. He told me I could splice into a power source, but the antenna would only go up/down when the car is turned off/on, not with the radio. He then said I could wire in a toggle switch to control the antenna that way.

Anybody have ANY suggestions????

Please help me!!!!!
