I have an old car that has a 2 wire antanna switch when pushed one way it gives 12 volt and the other wire is not ground or positive and visa versa when pushed the other way. I purchased a new power antenna and it has 2 wires, one needs to be ground and one needs to be poistive for it to go up and the visa versa for it to go down. I want to make this work with the original switch I need to make the this work how can i do it with 2 relays? Cant seem to figure it out! Thanks

Do you have a picture of the switch Front and Back?

I think you can make it work if we can figure out how the original switch works.

What Make and year car is it out of?

Maybe we can find a wiring Diagram for the original switch then modify the wires to do what you want.

If you use a DPDT center off Toggle switch you can do the same thing.
