Fellas,
Call me ignorant or a dimwit. That's OK, I still love Fiero's💛 I put my center cluster and radio surround back together after a 7 year wait. I know my radio antenna is supposed to plug into the fender mounted outside antenna (passenger side). I removed (dropped, layed aside) my subwoofer assembly. I thought I would see a plug where the fender mounted radio assembly plugs into the back of the center mounted radio? It isn't anywhere.? What or where in the world am I missing? Please help me.😡
Cordially,
kevin

It probably feel down under something, rug, another part you took out, it should be right there behind the radio, unless you moved it when you took the radio out?

Thanks for responding. The plug-in is attached (already inserted) into the radio. If you follow that antenna out toward the passenger side outside fender mounted antenna, I CANNOT locate where the inside radio (antenna) plugs into outside antenna?????

Ps. There wouldn't happen to be a picture someplace would there?

If the cable is removable from the antenna itself, it just fastens to the bottom of the antenna base. You prob have to remove the fender, at least at the top to be able to reach in. I cant remember if you can access it by removing just the inner fender liner or not. Most antennas have the cable manufactured onto the antenna though. If it was cut off to remove the cable, you will have to buy a new one.

Oh I am sure there is, a picture here someplace but the wire goes threw the door jamb just above the sub box if you have that if not right under the passenger side kick pad, actually these have no kick panel, just remove the door trim garnish on the inside of the car, the first few screws should get it lose enough, you will have to remove that to even find it.
Then pull the rug down from the top and it will be right there.

As has been stated, the antenna cable from the radio plugs directly into the antenna base under the passenger side front fender. If you didn't detach it seven years ago, it's still connected.
