Mission in Progress...Important question:

Hi, Friends.
I'm in the midst of attempting to repair my antenna mast.
Following directions, I've finally succeeded in pulling the carpet back, and getting at the metal bracket which holds the antenna motor to the car. This same metal bracket held what appears to be called a "lamp control box". I unclipped that from the bracket, and now I have removed the bracket and antenna motor from the car.
Before proceeding to the hard part...I wanted to ask this question:
I noticed that in this same area of the car are a variety of colored wires. I of course have disconnected the wires which go to the antenna motor...the antenna connector, or whatever it's called...as well as the couple of wires (a red one and a green one) which must ignite the fire, so to speak. Okay.
I also notice that there is a bunch (tied together with black tape) of red, white, green, and blue wires which run into a little "box" which is black and about and inch and a half square in size. THat little box is not connected to ANYTHING, whereas other similar little black boxes with multiple wires are connected to something. My question is what's up with that?
Also, there was a clear tubing which came out with the antenna motor I have here. What is that tubing, and when I replace the motor and attach it back to the car with the metal bracket, where is that tubing supposed to go exactly? Does it attach to something or doesn't it matter? Seems as though it would matter, otherwise why would it be there? :)
Thanks in advance. Onward and upward...now for the disassembling of the motor...
Julia
