Help with W123 Power Antenna

So Rag doll had a bent power mast when I bought her, later to break of completely.

LAst night, I decided to take the access panel off and see why the motor never runs when the key is turned on. I found out, the antenna power supply wasnt even plugged in!!!

So heres what I found, the plug has 3 wires, red, yellow, and black. Red has 12V when Switched on, and black is ground, so what is yellow?

I plugged it in and no dice. My guess is the antenna motor is dead, opening the case showed the belt in good condition, but no movement in there. So, before I drop coin on a new antenna, can anyone tell me what the yellow wire is for?

I looked at skinner box, and it seems there isnt much help there.

Thanks in advance.

W123 power antenna

Red,
If you have an Antenna switch on your dash, then the yellow will most likely be connected to that switch.
