Default Mk 5 Cabby Aerial Wires

Just going through a few jobs on my Mk 5 Cabby and theres 3 wires just snipped in the boot compartment by the aerial. 1 x white, red and black, can anyone confirm for me please that these are for the electric aerial as the one thats on is broke and has no wire attachments.

Thanx for any help.

Defo sound like it, the black is live, but a SWITCHED LIVE, ie this will be the stereo aerial or amp output used to raise lower, as it will only be live whilst stereo is on.
So just prod to confirm, and the other two wires as well, one earth(most likely white) and red is most likely positive.

Thanx cabriolet, dont suppose you have a pic of where you mean for the earth on the panel please. Also the fuse thats on the pump looks like it gets clipped onto something as mine is loose?
