drivers side kick panel

i have noticed that if i kick the drivers side kick panel my power antenna cyles on and off, goes up and down, same thing that happens when i connect battery after storage, is there a ground in the kick panel? bad wiring, just asking before i figure out how to get myself crammed in the small space, not as easy as use to be, sucks getting old

Re: drivers side kick panel

The fuse panel and main wiring is down there, very near the kick panel. It is possible something is loose

Re: drivers side kick panel

so i managed to squeeze down under the drivers side dash and it found the problem, the wire bulkhead, that goes through the firewall, i have a red wire, A5 or A4, cant remember, it is a power distribution wire, if you wiggle this wire where it connects the power gets cut off, i will have to take a picture of the wiring schematic i was looking at

can i disconnect this bulkhead to re-pin the wire? if so how does one remove it
