Below is what I found when checking voltage to the antenna connector. Use a Voltmeter to check values at each socket in varying states of operation. The number 6 socket is ground, so your negative (black) Voltmeter lead will be here throughout the test.

The results of test numbers 3 and 4 will tell us alot regarding your center position problem. Notice that socket 1 does not have power when the antenna switch is in the center position.

BTW, the test yielded the same results with the key in either the Accessory position or in the On position.

Let us know how it works out.
