After a good two months of trying to find one I just got my JDM half mast power antenna, and OEM switch in the mail yesterday. I have a couple questions about wiring it up.

The antenna was originally out of a Prelude, and has 4 wires that need to be run to my car. The wires off the antenna are colored green/red - black - yellow/white - white/yellow. I know I need to cut the original harness in the car and splice the antenna wires into it, but I don't know where to run each wire specifically (the Integra harness is color coded differently.)

I was told a Prelude antenna would work fine in an Integra with a few modifications, and have seen it done. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Ok so the original antenna harness that I cut has three wires:

USDM Integra Harness:

US Wire 1: Red/White (either makes antenna go up or down)
US Wire 2: Green/Yellow (either makes antenna go up or down)
US Wire 3: Black (ground)

The JDM harness has four wires:

JDM Prelude Antenna Wiring:

JDM Wire 1: Yellow/White (either makes antenna go up or down)
JDM Wire 2: White/Yellow (either makes antenna go up or down)
JDM Wire 3: Green/Red (I'm guessing this wire goes to the switch)
JDM Wire 4: Black (ground)

The switch harness has three wires:

Switch Wire 1: Yellow/White (Which I assume goes to a power source to power the switch???)
Switch Wire 2: Green/Red (Goes to green/red wiring from the antenna???)
Switch Wire 3: Black (ground)

So far I'm thinking the JDM wire 3 (green/red) goes to switch wire 2 (green/red.) The grounds obviously are self explanatory. Then the only wires I have left over are The two colored US wires, and the two colored JDM wires. I also did get power to the switch by using *switch wire 1 (yellow/white.) It draws power from the fuse box.

I've tried splicing both JDM (white/yellow to the USDM (red/white), and the JDM (yellow/white) to the USDM (green/yellow), and vice-versa. Nothing would work. I can hear the motor in the antenna, but the antenna does not move?

Thank you!

If possible could you take some pics of your set-up?

Ok so if i touch both the JDM wires (yellow/white - white/yellow) to one USDM wire (green/yellow), the antenna will move like an inch. It then stops, but the motor still makes a noise. If I keep removing the wires, then touching them again repeatedly to make a connection the antenna will slowly go up, or down.

Anyone have any suggestions?
