Hi guys
I have a 2 wire retractable antenna, beleive it is a ford but not sure. To extend, one wire hooked to positive, the other negative, and reverse these two to retract. I need to find a switch to put into my console that reverses polarity to control this ( apower window switch, etc is what I am thinking to match my interior)
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

like vicrod posted, you need a dpdt - double pole, double throw switch with a spring centered
or just buy a power window switch

Or you can use a SPDT switch and a couple of bosch relays

How you end up doing it?

re 2 wire antenna

I ended up using a dpdt switch 6 pin to reverse polarity
