Not sure if you are talking about wires from Metro harness or radio? Radios usually have red for power or hot, black is usually ground and yellow is probably the lights inside the radio. Try taking a VOM meter and verifying the wires if you know how to use one. red should be hot, black on ohms scale should conduct to the neg or ground. Yellow should have power (battery voltage) when you hit parking or headlights if I'm correct. If not may be the power antenna wire if it's from the radio, not used in most cases.
was simple i got in touch with as i do not have a manuel got lost some how so i got the diagram and was able to solve the problem infact its got a usb port at the back of the unite just pluged y ipod usb in
thanks
JVC KW-AVX800 The black wire is your ground
The yellow is your positive 12v constant so connect this to the wire that has 12v when the car is off.
The red connect this to the key switch wire meaning the wire will have a 12v signal only when the key is tured to the on position.
The blue is for a power antenna
the blue/white stripe is if you have external amps this wire goes to the amps remote on
The orange/white stripe connect this wire to your cars dimmer switch
Happy Wiring
As a sanity check run a temporary wire directly from the battery positive to the radio. Twist the red and yellow wires together and connect it to the wire from the battery. If this works either your red or yellow wire connection under the dash or to the harness is not hot like you think. Yellow usually goes to a constant 12 volt source (to keep radio memory) and the red wire to 12volts when the ignition is on. In some radios this is reversed. The test I mentioned will determin if the problem is in the wiring or the radio.
