Wireing for radio

Are you planning on installing an after market radio ? If so, recommend you use an empty slot from the fuse panel to run power to your radio. This will help to avoid having other system components being affected by the new radio. If car still under warranty, it will not void it.

Wrong category.

Should be ok to cut and splice wires. Leave enough on plug to hook back up if you need to.

what end, (radio side, or harness side or both, (we need a hint)
no problem or plan stated.
new radio
or repairing previous owners hack jobs?
the non stock radio side, that will take, you telling radio make brand, model and model number. (vast possibles)
on the car side is well known.
first off , its in the FSM. under radio.
btw there are stores that sell the connector harness adaptors for all cars. ever seen them.
the 2nd google hit landed, this (im blessed?)
see radio page, in FSM 1990

We do not have wiring diagrams here at fixya, sorry.

I had to cut the retracting wire for opening the door as it got jammed could not close door without chime going all of the time . I removed the fuse which solved the noise problem except now my radio and clock will not work . I know the chime goes through the speakers . How can I disconnect the wire from the door and put the fuse back in the get my radio and clock working . I do not plan to replace the retraction wire for the automatic door

Most stores that sell and install radios etc will have adapter harnesses and also face plates to make your install look professional and work as planned.
If you cannot get one, instead of completely cutting the original connector off, just remove about a 1/4" of insulation from each wire a few inches behind it and make your connection there. That way, if you need to use the old harness at any point you can simply tape over the gap and use it.

Hope this helps (remember to rate this).

what you can do is go to a junkyard cut the clip out of the same car and wire it back together. when you install a radio you are supposed to buy a wire harness that plugs into the one he cut and wire the harness to the radio and plug it in. check fuse too he could have shorted them when he cut. NEVER cut wires in the dash use the harness its available at most parts stores and usually only 20 bucks
