How many amps does the Power Antenna need?
Long stupid story on why I had to bust the case on my brand new Crown power antenna.
Before I chew up my hands and burn even more Saturday on it, I want to test it.
Know it needs 12V, but how many amps would a power supply (if I can find one) need to put out to work it without burning up the antenna motor?
Circuit is a 20A, but think that might be hot for this job.
Would a Battery Tender (with constant 12V/5A output work?
Thanks!

Re: How many amps does the Power Antenna need?
use the car's battery.
Black wire is ground and I think it's one of the others to make it go out and the other to go in. might be 1 to go out and both to go in.. It will take 5 sec the figure it but black is def gnd.
