Yep. When it first happend I assumed a dorked wire.

I double cheked it, the wire I moved IS the antenna power lead. It does work as long as the stock unit is not engaged.

The bummer here is I did not do the install (first mistake) so more time will be needed to untangle the puzzle. There is some quesionable hook ups, IE: the illumination lead is connected to a wire that previously ran to the light in the cubby that the empeg now occupies.

Anyway, when things get a bit warmer I'll re-do the entire thing. But your hunch about the cause jives with mine.
