stock setup, three wires, one is trigger from the radio, one is power, one is ground.

Get a voltmeter or a test light and check for which has power on it, thats the wire to use for your new antena's power. The new antenna probably wants to get its ground from the body where it mounts, this should be okay but if it's not working you may need to tuck a ground wire in there someplace to give it ground.

The way I had to replace mine was run the new red wire complete like the instructions say. I tried splicing the new red wire into the old and I got nothing. So I pulled the old ones and ran the new red wire to the fuse block where the old wire had been. I can't remember what I did with the blue wire that one may have worked just by splicing.
