It's the pink wire behind the radio if you have a aftermarket radio its usually hooked up to a blue wire from the radio but the car wire should be pink.

If you take off the two parts of the kickpanel on your passenger side, inside the car, there should be a black 3-wire plug that you can disconnect that turns the power off to the antenna motor. That's what I had to do on mine to get the motor to stop running when my mast stopped going up and down but the motor kept spinning.
