Cayman Antenna Booster

[a99C4tip]

I have a 2007 Cayman Base with CDR 24 radio which has very poor reception.  The suspected culprit is the antenna booster located on the passenger side A pillar under the plastic trim piece.

 

The female plug (see image) does not have a wire running to it.  The male plug has a constant supply of 12 volts.  I suspect that the booster burned out but the empty plug has me wondering.

 

Anyone familiar with this booster wiring to know one way or the other?

 

Thanks,

I've replaced the antenna booster with no luck.  Same bad reception with a bunch of static and hardly any stations.

 

My suspicion is that the wire from the windshield connects to female plug.  As speculation goes, the windshield was replaced and the installed probably pulled on the old wire but never bothered to look where where the new wire connects in the A pillar.

 

So...does anyone know which panels to take off to access the bottom of the windshield on the passenger side in hope of finding the antenna wire?  Defrost cover?  Glove box?  BTW I tried using a digital inspection camera without any luck.
