Put in a new stereo yesterday and found that the gray wire on the factory harness is broke, also the illuminated dash below stereo not working because of this. I connected the gray to the constant yellow(only way I could make it work.) and the two reds and the blacks to see if it had power, no power. When I connect new unit to battery it works and their are no fuses blown. Am I wrong in thinking the ground wire is black? would like specific wiring diagram for 2004 4runner with JBL system; btw do have a metra amp bypass 70-8117 connected
It appears that red is a speaker connection and not power. The complete wiring diagram I'd in the link below.

There may be extra wires you don't need. The basic set of wires on the radio is 4 pairs of colored wires--one black-striped and one plain for each speaker. Yellow is usually accessory power, red is hot, and black is ground. Some additional wires may be one for a power antenna, one for an external amplifyer, and one for facelight (in case it will run on dimmer)
The car should have the following corresponding wires:
Radio 12v--- orange
Radio Ground--- black
Radio Ignition--- yellow
Radio Illumination--- brown
Dimmer--- gray
Power Antenna--- pink (if you have one)
LF Speaker +/- tan - grey
RF Speaker +/- lt green - dk green
LR Speaker +/- brown - yellow
RR Speaker +/- dk. blue- lt. blue
The car or radio could have additional connectors, such as for a subwoofer, CD changer, etc.

That stereo is now most likely dead. speaker wires are mostly green/black stripe, white/b s, grey/b s and violet/b s. ground is black and power are red and yellow.

Yes, it will sound horrible. like a opera on full treble sung by a mouse if it works at all.
