my metra roadwork aftermarket antenna relay its shot and will not let the antenna go down. the antenna goes up but not down and i cannot find the original 5a/30vdc godsky 202-d relay. it is possible to use a regular spdt relay? can you guys help me with the wiring since i'm not sure to which of the post in the relay i have to plug it. thanks

To do that, it's probably 2 separate relays isn't it? (2 x DPST or DPDT?)
You need to imitate the centre-off polarity reversing switch (assuming it's a 2-wire motor; if 3 wire 2 x SPST should do).
I'd expect an appropriate diagram in the relay (circuits) section....

You'll need to tell me what the wires are.
I assume one is GND (probably black) and the other 2 are +12V as required - one for up, the other for down, but NOT both at the same time. (IE - connect the GND, then with a +12V wire, try each "other" wire one at a time.)
You could test that. I suggest using a 10A fuse in the +12V line.

Sorry, you can NOT post a reply.
