Power antenna not functioning 700 1990

Before anyone starts, yes i know about the kit ipd and everyone else sells to fix the power antenna mast.

But I don't think I am even getting proper voltage to the antenna. With the radio on there is a constant 12V going to the antenna (via 2 of the 3 wires). However, the antenna switch doesn't seem to do anything. I just replaced the radio with an aftermarket (no radio to begin with when I bought it). I did not connect the blue power antenna wire from the new radio to anything as I assumed the dash switch would raise and lower the antenna.

So my questions are:

1. What kind of voltage should I be seeing at the antenna wires (in the trunk) when toggling the antenna switch and from which wires should they be coming from?

2. Am I supposed to wire the blue power antenna wire from the aftermarket radio to anything? If so, what color wire is it?
