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 make a passive antenna?
To make a passive antenna, you need a conductive material, such as copper wire, to form the antenna's elements. Cut the wire to the desired length, typically around half the wavelength of the frequency you want to receive. Shape the wire into a simple design, like a dipole or loop, and connect it to a coaxial cable or directly to your radio receiver. Finally, ensure the antenna is properly positioned and grounded for optimal reception.
Which wire is grounded positive or negative?
The negative wire is grounded.AnswerThe negative wire is grounded.
Antenna motor keeps running when antenna is shut off killing the battery What do you do?
The wiring diagram ahows that the power feeds the motor all the time but its turned on by connecting the negative side on thru a relay. if a short is found in the wire and it grounds out then the motor will try and run. So either a wire is grounded between the antenna and the relay. Or the relay could be bad.
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.
How to replace antenna on 1992 Toyota pickup?
remove wheel and remove the plastic liner inside the fender. remove the radio and disconnect the antenna wire. Tape another, 10' long wire to the end of the antenna wire. Unscrew the nut around the antenna from on top. pull the antenna and antenna wire out through the fender. Tape the 10' long wire to the new antenna wire and pull it back through the dash to the radio.

Does the radio antenna need to be grounded?
yes it does for it to work correctly
What happens if someone touches a high voltage wire?
If they are grounded they get an electric shock or electrocuted. If they are not grounded or in simultaneous contact with the neutral wire, nothing. That's why birds can sit on a high voltage wire and survive; they are 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.
Why did my Remote starter stopped working?
either the neutral safety wire is not grounded, or hoodpin wire is grounded. or the fuse is blown
How do you replace antenna wire on a 2008 Chrysler 300?
To replace the antenna wire on a 2008 Chrysler 300, first, remove the interior trim panel near the antenna base, typically located on the rear deck or roof. Disconnect the old antenna wire from the antenna and the radio unit, then route the new antenna wire through the same path. Reconnect the new wire to the antenna and the radio, ensuring all connections are secure. Finally, replace the trim panel and test the radio to ensure proper reception.
