Not sure what you mean by the antenna is brand new. The antenna is integrated with the rear window. There is an antenna pre-amp that is in the driver's side rear pillar. The pre-amp has power connections, three inputs from the antenna and one output. You could check to make sure that all of these connections are in place. There is also one connection just below the radio in the front console. This should not have come loose unless someone was working in the area.

If you could explain the new antenna maybe you could get some better answers.

part number 8 is the pre-amp. You should be able to connect a non-powered antenna to this antenna cable connector.
