check the fuse box under the dash on the drivers side or in the hood on the passenger side then if the fuse is i would check the motor for the power antenae and make sure that you hooked up the wiring for the power antenae properly

welcome aboard from socal and there may be a fuse or you may have an issue with the antenna it self they are pretty cheap and easy to break i would go to a non power unit

I feel your pain. Mine came with the stock wiring all hacked up and some cheap *** aftermarked amp/EQ hanging above the gas pedal. It took hours to remove the non working amp and get the wiring sorted out. Seriously some of the speakers had their neg wires attached to ground instead of the neg wire out the back of the radio. I tore all that crap out and threw in a free Jensen CD player my neighbor found in the trunk of a used car he bought. sounds 100X better!

It worked before. You sure it's wired right? Check this out, there's a Jeep diagram last. DCP-Wiring.pdf (application/pdf Object)

Power antenna wire should go to a blue wire on the back of your radio
