Thanks for the reply Scouse.

I pulled the Antenna out of the vehicle and am using it in a custom way. I will be using it to actuate a sliding door. So at this time there is not a relay powering the antenna. I do need one that I can flip flop the output on as the antenna needs to see voltage on the green wire and gound on the red wire to go out and vice versa to retract. I want 5 volts as an output as the antenna moves slower powered by 5 volts. That will allow for a smoother slide.

I think I will just go with the suggested relay as it should fit the bill.
