Where does power antenna wire go from back od cd player,

I am trying to figure out where the white wire goes from behind cd player where does it go from there ? Does it go straight down to fuse box and then to the back of the car? Does it run down the passenger side of car to the back and then over to antenna? For some reason my power antenna stopped working it dont go up any more.

It probably froze up. You don't really need to track the wire. See if you have 12 volts at the antenna when it should have it. You can also do a continuity test at either end of the wire. You can eliminate a lot of stuff before you need to trace the wire.

There should be a plug or something on the power antenna (pull the panel in the wheel well) Unplug it. Make sure the fuse is good, if the antenna froze it may have blown the fuse. Do what ever you do to make the antenna go up and see if your getting 12 volts at the plug. If you are it's the antenna. If not go to the radio end and see if that's putting out the 12 volts. I'm not sure of the color I haven't dug into mine in years. The wiring diagram will tell you the color and you can follow the current flow from there if need be. 99% of the time the antenna is froze or the radio stops putting out the signal, a break in the wire would be rare.

I just got done fixing mine ..... At the power anennna in the wheel well there are 3 wires ....
red = continious 12V
White = trigger from back of radio.... If you have an aftermarket it should be connected to the blue wire off the radio harness.
Brown = ground
