Help to ID these 2 and 3 conductor connectors - 89 Formula

These are not in the Harness Face Connectors pages of my 89 Firebird FSM.

They are both near each other behind the PS dash by the blower motor.

Being color blind I have a hard time going by the wiring diagram.


Thanks for help.

You are talking about the 3 wire one I believe - neither connector appears to have been used and the car had a fixed antenna so that makes sense. Strange I cannot find any pics of a power antenna connector online.

Re: Help to ID these 2 and 3 conductor connectors - 89 Formula

I'm talking about both of them.

The 3-wire connector contains the inputs to the relay, so to speak - battery (orange), switched power from the radio (pink) and ground (black); the 2-wire one contains the up & down outputs to the antenna (green & grey, can't recall which is which). They both plug into the relay.

There have been MANY photos of those posted on this site over the years. Mostly when people's antennae broke and the motor wouldn't stop running, so they wanted to know how to disconnect it.

The two-wire connector looks like the dash speaker connector.
