Hooking up a new stereo

red wire is live (battery) yellow wire live only when ignition is on, black wire is earth(car body) there should also be 4 pairs of wires green,white,grey and purple these are your speaker wires you'l notice with the pairs of same colour eg white one is solid colour one has a black stripe the solid colour goes to live + on your speaker the one with stripe goes to - on speaker, same goes for the rest of the pairs hope this helps

a reputable car stereo place will sell you a wiring harness for your vehicle and after market stereo, that tells you which color wires to hook to what.

The power wire is always red so check that out. N if u dont have ground, look for a simple metal surface that u can put the black wire to cuz thats ur ground. N as for no power check your fuses u might have touch to wire together that made a spark.

When I put a new stereo in that is aftermarket, I get a wiring harness from Best Buy or Ebay.com that has the wires labeled for easy hook up of speakers and power, etc.

If your puting in a aftermarket stereo system, they make adapters that will plug into the factory harness and have a diagram of what to hook up to your new stereo. They should have one of these at a stereo store or even auto parts or Wal Mart. I had to put one in my 89 Caravan and 88 Prelude. I got them from the local stereo store and they were about $12 bucks or so. Depends on how much your stereo place overcharges.

Hope this works for you....

Dont know if you tried this already but go to a car audio store and ask for an adapter the plugs into your stereo and then it plugs into the factory wiring harness. its easier and cleaner and less stressfull. if you done so write back and Ill see if I can send you a pick or something.

does this model have the built in amp? brownred may be the clock. do you know what each of the wires on the stereo controls? if you know this i can help you.

either way give me a list of the colors you dont know

you are a ******* idiot you+this answer= you are ******* stupid we don't want to know what our best bet is you damn inbred **** we want color codes!!!!! God you are dumb what color means what its like putting the caps back on the right markers in your coloring box with your little books that you cant even color inside the lines cause you are so stupid!!!!!!
