I have some trouble with electric antenna, it does not work so to speak. I opened it up, and noticed that there actually quite a few things that may malfunction. What does typically break in electric antenna? I'm talking about '99 9-3. I noticed there are two wires coming to antenna unit: one of them seems to provide +12V regardless of ignition position, purpose of the another one is unknown. Is it ground, or some kind of signaling? If latter one, how is antenna grounded? These two wires seem to connect to black box in antenna unit, which has three wires going to actual antenna motor module. What are these three wires? I'm guessing they are +12V and two grounds, which are active depending on the desired travelling direction. Is that right? What is the purpose of this black module? It is approx. size of one cubic inch. How does antenna know/decide when to go up and when to go down? Please, help me out. I really would love to know how it is supposed to work so that I could try to locate&fix it. BR, Zon
