Swap it to a Tacoma/pickup/1st gen 4Runner whip antenna.

Use a multimeter. So much easier than guessing.

There are two leads, they just reverse polarity to change direction. Hook up your multimeter to the connector, see if you get any power when turning on the radio.

(With more clues I could be more specific; is there power to the radio? Do you hear the antenna motor running? Stuff like that.)

the motor to your antenna looks almost identical to the windshield wiper motor, If I remember right. inspect that. when you turn the radio on, that motor should click.

That's what I thought as well. But zero sound.

No. It it's supposed to be automatic when the Acc on the ignition is selected.
