not working radio antenna

Shop kids took my seat out to get fixed. All put back together, but school is now out and there is a problem. My radio antenna does not go up and at night the light does not light up to show the station. At another forum they said the wiring is under the seat - but I can only see the two sets of wires that go to the connections on the seat. Can anyone tell me exactly where they may have unhooked the wires to the antenna motor?
I looked at the "mess" of wires next to the fuse box on drivers side door, and all seems to be hooked up properly.

The first thing to check is whether the antenna turn on wire is getting power when the radio is on or if it has been accidentally grounded. This would be best done with a multimeter rather than a test light. I don't know if the wire runs under the seat or in the side panels, but it should be easy enough to test at the antenna itself. Another way would be to disconnect the radio and directly jumper the antenna turn on with 12V at the harness to isolate whether the problem is in the radio or elsewhere. If the antenna raises by jumpering, then you know the problem is in the radio.

Anyone know where I can get a copy of the wiring diagram for the radio/antenna motor for the '95 SVX? Dealer is NOT cooperative on me trying to fix problem.
