Kris 90 Report post Posted October 2, 2020 I’m hooking up my radio and I only have 2 wires, blue with a red stripe and yellow with a black stripe. My radio is an aftermarket custom autosound and needs a battery + , an ignition wire, and a ground. From what I can make out on the wiring diagram the yellow black stripe is the ignition wire and the blue red stripe is battery +. Then the ground will just connect to a body ground in the dash. Is this correct? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midlife 814 Report post Posted October 2, 2020 No, incorrect. Yellow/black is fused ACC power, blue/red is lamp power. You can use the yellow/black for radio power, splice into the blue/white cigarette lighter wire for Battery power (on all the time and fused), and find somewhere on the chassis for a ground wire.

Kris 90 Report post Posted October 3, 2020 So would the blue/red would be used for a dimmer if my radio had one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, if you have illumination lead on you radio, connect it to blue/red and when gauge lights come on, radio light will come on too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
