    There's usually a power antenna wire that also has to be connected. If you connected that also, then maybe the motor is dead. If not, I have no clue man.

        Some people have modified the power supply to the antenna by adding a switch. Whenever you listen to CD's the antenna can stay down and if you want to listen to the radio, flip it and up goes the antenna.

        Reduces the drag too

          Could it be a switched ground from the factory radio that makes it go up? Try grounding the wire from the ANTENNA NOT the radio to something metal on the car with the key on, and see if it goes up. Just a thought

              Depending on what kind of radio you have, you may have hooked up the wrong wire. Some radios come with an amp turn on lead AND a power antenna lead. You have to use the right one.

              Also, with the Monsoon, there may actually be two power antenna wires, and you have to jump the wire over to energize both wires or the antenna will not come up. I've seen that happen even though it is very rare.
