    I have to install a new power antenna in my '96 Integra..

    I had pulled out the other one because it was binding. I then
    reinstalled all my plastic and seats, etc.. (I couldn't find the
    power antenna unit I was looking for that weekend, so I just put
    everything back together, minus the antenna.) I ended up with the
    dead power antenna with a connector on it and no easy way to plug it
    back in to figure out which wire goes to what.

    There are 3 wires, a black and two yellow/white.

    So, I now have the old connector and a new generic power antenna and
    would like to wire them together before pulling the car interior out
    again.

    Does anyone know which pin goes to what?

    One wire should have power all the time, another wire has power with radio
    and ignition switch on and the third wire ground. Use a voltmeter or test
    light between one of the yellow/white wires and black wire and identify
    the always hot and switched hot. On our 92 Accord, pin 1 = ground (black),
    pin 2 = switched hot (yellow/white) and pin 3 = alway hot (white/blue).

    The switched hot (from radio) controls an internal relay with dual
    contacts inside the antenna and the always hot is the power the relay
    passes to the antenna motor. Hopefully the new antenna has some kind of
    usefull directions. I'm guessing you've already figured it out by now....
