Typically, the blue wire is used to power the antenna and is connected to the 12-volt accessory wire on the car stereo. Make sure to consult the specific wiring diagram for your car model to confirm.
It is not recommended to cut and splice antenna wires as it can impact the performance of the antenna. It's better to use connectors or adapters to extend the length of the antenna.
To determine which wires are from the power source and which are from the heater, you can use a multimeter to test for voltage. Turn off the power to the circuit, then use the multimeter to check for voltage on each wire. The wire with voltage when the circuit is off is from the power source, while the wire with voltage when the heater is on is from the heater. Be sure to proceed with caution and follow all safety guidelines when working with electrical wires.
In standard electrical wiring, black or red wires are typically used for hot or power leads. These wires carry the current from the source to the device, providing power for operation. It is important to verify the specific wiring codes and standards in your region to ensure correct identification of wire colors.
Black wires are typically used for power supply, while green wires are commonly used for grounding. White wires are usually neutral wires in electrical systems. It is important to follow proper wiring color codes to ensure correct connections and safe operation of electrical devices.
High tension wires are usually made of aluminum or aluminum alloy, which naturally has a silver color. This color helps to reflect sunlight and reduce heat absorption, which can help prevent the wires from overheating. Additionally, the silver color makes the wires more visible to birds and aircraft, reducing the risk of collisions.

power is red ground is black
If the antenna is in the up position, you have 2 options, replace the entire assembly, or unplug it. In the trunk under the antenna, you will find a set of 3 wires going into a relay. Unplug those, and the motor will turn off.
Usually a blue or yellow power wire is either "remote turn-on" or "power antenna", and those will BOTH be positive. I haven't installed every type of head unit there is on the planet obviously, but those are fairly standard color codes. If you don't need or aren't using a remote turn-on, and don't have a powered antenna, just cap those wires off to prevent an accidental short-circuit and ignore them.
If you do not see an external antenna, then it is in either the front or rear windshield. Look closely and you will see the tiny wires that make up the antenna.
I recently installed a pair of 12" Infinity subwoofers in my 2000 Gramd AM. I ran the power wire from the battery on the driver's side of the car to the amp. I ran the audio wires and the antenna wireon the passenger side of the car. You should put the wires on opposite sides of the car, to reduce static that can be caused from the electromagnetic field produced by the large amount of power running through the power wire. Hook up the audio wires, antenna wire, and power wire to the amp. Then all you have to do is connect your amp to your subs. GrandAMMAn

Normally red. Check the wires with a volt meter to be sure.
blue with yellow stripe
Because your truck is old and the wires are not connected to your antenna. Check to made sure your antenna is in proper condition.
The wires running in the rear window are the radio antenna. So, to answer the question, in the glass of the rear window.
