Buy a 12 volt lamp tester (like a screw driver)check the wires when car ignition switch is turned on ,connect the wire side of tester to metal ground of ur car which supposed to be negative and other side of tested pin to the wires jack of ur car which is for radio connection previously,find out 2 connection points which are positive terminals one lights when igni switch is turned on the other one is permanent power terminal.now there are three wires of ur new radio one is black which should be connected to ground or metal body of ur car negative terminla and yellow connected to permanet power terminal and red one should be connected to power turned on with the swith which is called switched power
.now try to find out other four groups of terminal two for front speaker two for rear speaker each speaker has two wires ,can find out the connections by connecting a dry battery cell to the wires to identify which wires of speakers sound when battery is connected ,front pair of wires is for front left grey pair is for right front green pair of wires of ur new stereo is for left rear speaker and purple or blue pair is for right rear speaker
.these colors are globally known .the wires of speakers must not mixed with each other
black is for ground negative red is witched power and yellow for permanent power.
donot use long screws to fit ur new radio .Best of luck

Radio not getting power

Are you using the available wiring kit? Your local Walmart auto parts sells these specific kits (for your Jeep) about $12 to $18...Any other wiring could lead to other problems. How was the radio tested?

'96 Grand Cherokee--- The battery is drained now after 3 days of not in use. When the Jeep is off the radio staying on and the clock too. What can I do?? Alex

You can take the fuse out everytime you get out or you can have the radio installed by a professional because it sounds like whoever hooked it up hooked the yellow wire to the battery power wire which runs continuous power to your radio.

I HAVE A 94 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE PUTTING A PIONEER DEH-1900MP STEREO IN AND WHEN I SHUT IT OFF THE STEREO WONT SAVE THE PRESET STATIONS

the problem is you dont have the battery wire on the radio hooked up to a 12v constant. it sounds like you have to take the battery wire of the radio and hook it up to a wire that stays 12v all the time even when the car is off.

I am in the middle of replacing my radio with a newer one in my 94 jeep cherokee and one of the wires touch another one and sparked and now neither of radios work when i hook them up

Check your radio fuse.. if it is ok, and the radio does turn on and you have no sound, chances are you either popped your "amp" fuse or worse, popped your factory amp.. let me know what exactly is or isn't working right now.. but make sure you check your fuses...
