Right, this is how mine works...

As long as both leads have constant 12v, the antenna stays up. If the antenna sees a constant wire with 12v and the trigger wire with nothing, the antenna retracts. If the antenna is already up and then the antenna sees 12v on the trigger and nothing on the constant, the antenna stays up.

So, hook them both up to 12v, let the antenna go up fully. Take one wire off - if the antenna goes down, you've pulled the trigger wire; if the antenna stays up, you've pulled the 12v wire.
