1994RedVert Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Can some one with a working power antenna do me a favor and take some good up close pics of their antenna from in the trunk? I think I might have some wires missing, or a connector missing. If so I will just go with an aftermarket antenna. And is there a gromet under the antenna that the drain hose goes to? I have a hole there and my drain tube just leaks into me trunk. Thanks for all the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I don't have any pictures of my Antenna currently. I could grab some later. IIRC my drain tube just goes in the floor pan in the hole no rubber gromet. One connector is for the radio, has a single tip at the end. The other connector is a 3 pin. Should have like a pink and black wire going in it. Not to be mistaken for the ground out for the keyless entry program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timm Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Just removed the rear antenna on my 95 vert, and it had a tube going through the floor with an attached rubber grommet. I think (Don't take these as fact) the wire colors are like green, tan, and either white or black... Hopefully someone has a good working one to snap a pic of!

1988PhantomFE3 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) Here you go buddy, pics from our 1994 CS Vert edit; ignore the top/back connector, it's for something else and was just stowed there. I thought it hooked up to the antenna, but I just checked and it does NOT!!! It's the connector closest to the fender in pic#2. The only connectors are the coax and the one in the close up pics#1 & 3 Edited June 5, 2012 by 1988PhantomFE3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I just wanted to see how the thing hooked up. I have a bunch of wires back there and didnt' know if they hooked up to the antenna or not.

cutlassdude96 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 that unused connector is the programing wire the keyless entry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1988PhantomFE3 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 That wire with the connector than you ground to reset your key fob? I ordered 4 brand new key fobs and never got any of them to be programmed, and the car was clicking and everything, but the fobs never ever received whatever signals it was suppose to, never worked! ANY ideas how to get them working CUTLASSDUDE96 with the pic of the nottie for an Avitar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutlassdude96 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 you hold down the lock button on the key fob when the locks cycle after you ground the wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1988PhantomFE3 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Those are the ones I have, maybe it's that box looking thingie in the trunk? Or maybe I did it wrong...I tried everything, even new batteries in all the fobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Hmm...Its possible that the box next to the top motor had been replaced with one that has another FCC ID, but not probable. The locks didn't cycle when you pressed the lock button when programming? I think 2 is maximum on the amount of fobs that can be used on each car.

1994RedVert Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 that unused connector is the programing wire the keyless entry I do have a huge connector attached to my power antenna with nothing connected to it. I will have to get a pic. What do you think is suppose to go to that? could it just be a universal antenna? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1988PhantomFE3 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Jay, the locks did cycle, clicked loud as heck too! I went to the dealership and they wanted like $200+ to figure it out, with no guarantee the fobs would work when they were done...geeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Ed, I'll grab my service manual from work and look at possibilities...But I'm thinking the receiver box is bad and not recognizing the fobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1988PhantomFE3 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I pulled out that other connector that was by our power antenna, does your big connector look like this one 1994Red Vert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1988PhantomFE3 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Thanks Jay, I'll get into the front part of the trunk and get as much info off the box as I can get. The car was rearended at one time, maybe it damaged something then.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 No problem Ed. Anything for a friend. It's rare for the two connector box to go bad but I have one that only works part of the time I had in my Blazer from a 1994 Cutlass. I need to get another for the Indy, I'm thinking about using a solenoid on the in bed toolbox and having it open using the REAR button.

No, it is actually towards the top where the antenna is screwed in. It is a pretty big connector attached to the part the antenna mast goes into.

1988PhantomFE3 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 1994REDVERT, is that a factory stock antenna you have in there right now? I KNOW mine is just the way it came when delievered to the showroom floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1988PhantomFE3 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Thank you Jay for calling me a friend, I needed that just about now. I consider you my best friend on here, and Nate runs a closest secondest bestest friendess everest on this W-Body site. I don't know all the unwritten rules here, and I asked another member to phone me for help, but he took it the wrong way... kinda bumbed me out bigtime...

I KNOW mine is just the way it came when delievered to the showroom floor. That is the thing I am not completely sure. I think it is. But, the car is almost 20 years old. And I am not the original owner. But, I would have to say yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
