Use the wire to solve your trouble - all should be color coded. reconnect the blue to the blue and so forth.

you should never cut the wires on your factory harness... metra and other companys have harnesses that fit your car and would provide you with a correct wire color code you need to hook up a aftermarket stereo keep that in mind but i will post the wire diagram u are looking for

SOURCE: radio wire harness cut

You can buy a kit from a number of sources to solve this problem. Instructions come with the kit. If you are putting a stock radio back in go to a junk yard and cut the loom out of another truck and marry it to your truck. If you don't want to do either of these things the fat red wire is almost always hot. The antenna cable is unique and will only fit in one spot. the speaker wires are small diameter and will work no matter which way you hook them up as long as one hot (speaker) wire and one ground wire go to each speaker. Have fun.

Trying to install a radio in my 97 nissan kingcab xe pickup but i cant find a diagram for the stock radio wiring harness anywhere, help me?

if the stock pigtail is cut, that sucks! you can always get an adapter harness, even from walmart! plug and play. just splice the new harness into the new radio harness. easy as all connections are color coded. if you talk to a service writer at nissan, you may be able to get a diagram from them.

I have a 1999 ford ranger ,got a new radio, need color coded diagram to install it

They make harnesses to plug into the truck harness and the radio. I recommend this. Because you don't want to cut the wrong wire and fire the computer. IT does happen.

How to connect a Hyundai car radio to my Toyota ute

This is most likely impossible if either is a late model vehicle. As far as wiring you will need to cut the factory Radio harness out of the Hyundai, you will also need a wire diagram for the Hyundai. You will need to buy a harness designed to install an aftermarket head unit into the Toyota, the new harness will come with a description of which wires perform what function. You will then need to match these to the wires on the harness cut from the Hyundai using the diagram. Even if you do all this other hyundai radio will not bolt in where the factory Toyota radio was, and there is no adapter made for something like this. I would suggest just buying an aftermarket stereo. It will be MUCH easier and will almost definitely sound better than a stock Hyundai unit.

Car audio wiring diagram for 1998 volvo s-70

CLICK HERE for your vehicles full service manual. If you are cutting wires.
Be warned your vehicle has a factory amplifier installed, and needs to be bypassed to hear the speakers if you are just wiring behind the dash.
Metra makes a harness you install on the aftermarket radio, then simply plug into the vehicle's harness.
All the wires are labeled for easy installation.

70-9220 is the metra part number. Click on the number to see an eBay auction.
