How do I install a new antenna on my GMC 05 2500 Sierra. I have to replace the base because it broke off. I've taken the dash off. But cannot seem to fish wire through the firewall.

you will probably hav eto remove the motor cover. there is a nylon strip with teeth on it that a gear pushes and pulls to raise and lower the antenna. you have to make sure that the strip is properly in the channel and meshing against the motor gear.

Buy replacement antenna mast. Remove old one by unscrewing the retaining cap nut. Turn on the radio & let the antenna cable run all the way up while you pull on it to remove it.
Install the new antenna mast by turning the radio 'off' so the spool inside goes back to its beginning while you feed the cable of the new antenna down into the antenna mast hole.
Once the cable is all the way down, reinstall the retaining nut/cap and turn on the radio to allow the spool to run the antenna 'UP.'... cycle the radio ON and then OFF several times allowing the antenna to move all the way up and all the way down.
That's it!

please rate service.

Give these instructions a shot. Might be too generic but might be enough to get you going. Removing Original Antenna
1. Step 1 Activate the antenna switch to the up position.
   
2. Step 2 Using the wrench or needle-nose pliers, loosen and remove the original retaining nut on the base of the antenna mast.
   
3. Step 3 Gain access to the underside of the area where the antenna is located.
   
4. Step 4 Remove the bracket or brace that is below the hole and holding the antenna in place.
   
5. Step 5 Remove the mast.
   
6. Step 6 Find the motor that controls the antenna mast. Generally, power antennas will have a constant 12-volt lead and a ground lead. The ground lead will be grounded to the panel next to the motor.
   
7. Step 7 Remove the ground lead from the panel.
   
8. Step 8 Pull out the antenna coaxial cable.
   
9. Step 9 Unplug the coaxial from the extension coaxial cable.
   
10. Step 10 Remove the original antenna coaxial cable. Note the route the cable follows.
    Installing the New Power Antenna
11. Step 1 Inspect the fender area where the antenna mast will be mounted for rust.
    
12. Step 2 Clean the area before installing the new antenna.
    
13. Step 3 Plug the new antenna coaxial cable to the extension coaxial cable. (On some General Motors and Ford cars you may need an adapter to mate the 2 cables together. Car audio retail stores sell such an adapter.)
    
14. Step 4 Plug the new antenna's coaxial cable into the radio's chassis antenna jack if there is no extension coaxial cable. Tie or tape the string you put on the extension cable to the new antenna coaxial cable. This assures that the 2 cables stay together as you route them to the antenna mount in the fender.
    
15. Step 5 Connect the power lead of the antenna to the power antenna lead on the radio.
    
16. Step 6 Connect the 12-volt constant lead to the antenna to a 12-volt source or to the ignition switch.
    
17. Step 7 Direct the new antenna cable via the same route followed by the original antenna cable on up to the hole in the fender in which the mast will be mounted.
    
18. Step 8 Ground the ground lead from the motor to a clean metal surface on the metal panel near the mount.
    
19. Step 9 Insert the mast into the hole. Face the serrated side of the plastic cable on the bottom of the mast toward the motor side. The plastic cable can be inserted freely to about 12 inches and will stop.
    
20. Step 10 Turn on antenna switch to down position until the plastic cable goes down and catches into the gear mechanism of the drum housing. If the plastic cable does not gear into the mechanism, twist the cable slightly until the cable contacts into the gear mechanism while the motor is in operation.
    
21. Step 11 Stop the motor after the cable goes into the housing 12 to 25 inches.
    
22. Step 12 Secure the bracket or strap to the bottom of the antenna mast and to the metal fender.
    
23. Step 13 Replace the retainer nut to the base of the antenna mast and secure tightly.
    
24. Step 14 Replace the panel that covers the antenna mount area.
    

ON AN ELECTRIC ANTENNA, YOU CANNOT JUST REPLACE JUST THE MAST.

You access the ariel via the left hand wheel arch.
1. Remove left wheel mud guard. It is held in with a bunch of press studs which can be difficult to remove. I found pulling on the plastic mud guard whilst turning the screw helped.
2. unbolt the electric ariel assembly. There is an earth strap that needs to be unscrewed as well.
You should be able to get the ariel out far enough to work on it.
3. Remove chrome plated nut to top end of mast tube.
4. With great anger and force, remove the dead ariel and drive cable from the mast.
It's difficult to get the mast to work unless it's earthed properly.
5. Get you hand inside the wall and remove the ariel face plate. Swear if you have to.
6. Put the ariel mast assembly back into the wall and hook it all up minus the new ariel.
7. Switch your radio on, then put the new ariel into the mast. Gears facing the rear of the car. Switch the radio off, it should retract. If not you may need to push it in a little further.
8. Remove the ariel mast again and slip the chrome nut to top end of mast tube and tighten securely.
9. Ask the spouse to close up whilst you have a beer.
