My motor is good, runs off of the car when hooked up to power. Now, I have power at the center leg (Pink) Wire at the relay when the radio turns on. Nothing at the other two outer plugs and no power on any of the wires on the output (Green and white) that go to the antenna. The relay clicks and i took it apart and it is actuating. Am i supposed to have power to more than just the pink center wire from the radio?

Thanks!
 
The CIG/CLK fuse powers the orange wire at the relay at all times, this allows the motor to run to shut off when the IGN key is OFF.

Orange wire feeds the relay contacts white wire is down when +12. Dark green is Up +12 when relay activates via radio switch.
 
If that is good go to the relay behind the glove box.

You can see it easier if you empty it and fold it down. That way you don’t have to remove the lower dash cover.
 
The troubleshooting section of the service manual. it helped me track down a bad relay and connector.
