1991 capri does the radio need to be grounded separetly oR IS IT ALREADY GROUNDED through THE HARNESS OR ANTENNA?
It is not going to hurt to ground it with a secondary ground if you suspect it is not grounded. It is not grounded thru the antenna. Just run a ground wire from the radio chassis to any ground location.It is not going to hurt to ground it with a secondary ground if you suspect it is not grounded.

How do you ground a CB radio antenna?
Grounding is accomplished by connecting a heavy cable from the ground side of the antenna to a ground rod. A ground rod is typically a 4 - 8 foot copper plated steel rod driven into the ground as close as possible to the antenna, making the wire connection as short as possible. All equipment should also be grounded to a rod, not just the antenna.
How do you get the antenna to go up with a new stereo installed if the antenna wire is connected to the stereo but the antenna won't raise now even from the switch?
The motor that raises and lowers the antenna is controlled by a wire which is connected to the power switch in the stock radio. The wire from the antenna itself has nothing to do with raising and lowering the antenna. Touch the wires that were connected to the stock radio to a hot wire and see if the antenna starts to move. If if does, hook that wire to the wire from the new radio which is supposed to control the antenna motor. If there is no such wire, connect the antenna motor wire to the Accessory circut. The antenna will go up whenever the key is turned on. Or, you can get fancy and install a switch for it.

What is a power antenna wire on a car stereo?
This is only used if your vehicle has a motorized antenna that pops up only when the radio is on, then retracts when the radio is off. A voltage is sent from the stereo through this wire to a relay which applied power to the antenna. If you don't need it the wire from the stereo should be capped off to prevent a short occurring if it were to ground out under the dash somehow.

You can extend an antenna wire, but the added length will reduce amplitude of received signal. You may need an in-line amplifier depending on the application and length of antenna wire.
