Need assistance with installing an aftermarket three wire universal power antenna

I wasn't paying attention when I ran my car through a soft touch car wash when I noticed that's a mess for the entire is broke. I ordered one on Amazon believing that my replacement power antenna would be OEM, and unfortunately I received a three wire universal power antenna with red black and white wires. I need to find out what the combination of wires are for the three wire to the factory harness for the power antenna to work properly.
Does anyone have the proper wiring diagram for me to be able to accomplish this goal? Please!! I need your help if you do.

You should be able to download a factory service manual, which would give you a detailed wiring diagram for the power antenna.

Rit,
It really doesn't show what is needed to wire an after market motor. Like I said, I can set it to go up, and that would be it. I would need to change two wires that are used to put it up.... to bring it down, and I don't know how I would be able to make that work. Factory harness has a black/red, pink, and a solid black. That aftermarket has a red. green. and black. I even went to "geek squad" for assistance. I may just go for a "stub" mount and call it a day. But I would like to keep everything as original as I possibly can. Thanks for your help. It is greatly appreciated.

If only the mast is broken, and the factory motor still works, doesn't the dealer still sell the mast assembly?

what antenna do you have? typically it would be a power, ground, and "trigger" from the radio. when the trigger wire has b+ mast goes and stays up. remove b+ and mast goes down.

highly recommend just going with an OEM mast.

If you call around to junkyards I bet one of them can pull a factory antenna off a car and sell it to you.
