If anyone out there has what they think could be an original power antenna or original connectors and can get a photo of the connectors from the body harness to the antenna, I'd appreciate it. Your car year too please. My 1984 looks like this below and obviously mine is not correct as new. I'm trying to nail down the most likely proper original connectors and their wire order.
Thanks, Dave B

It's not very detailed but the installation instructions show wire colors and adapters for the early cars. '91- on cars were pre-wired apparently.

I have that info. Thanks. It doesn't show any wire color order detail for the antenna connectors.

I have a partially cut up and molested '84 242T body harness I'm studying, which was clearly pre-wired for the antenna. My own '84 242T also was clearly prewired, but since my connector is not pristine, I suspect someone replaced the antenna before I got the car in 2003., so I question how original my car is. I think the variety of connectors in that Volvo literature suggest the antenna was somewhat universal for several Volvos.

It's possible that '83 and prior was not prewired for the antenna, because I know someone who has an '83 body harness and the antenna portion is a separate added harness.

The original connector that I think SHOULD be there is the below photo. 2-pole male on the antenna and 2-pole female on the harness. I want to see if that's what others have and I'd like to know what wire colors others see on both sides, since the antenna may NOT have the same wire colors as the harness.
