hey waz up all! I recently purchased a 89' h/b, it's in pretty good condition considering its 15yrs old, but I have a little prob with wiringthe radio. I searched for days and found the wiring diagram for it & everything wire from the head unit harness has found a match execpt the remote wire...there is a blue wire w/ red stipe & red wire w/ orande stripe still left. The unit does have power but not constant power.....can someone plzzzzzzz help!

 

post in the right section next time bro. As for the wiring, hopefully Arctic see this thread and can help you - he recently installed a new head unit in his car with an adapter harness which is labelled. I'll let him know for ya.

Do you have the harnesses along with the car. Cause if you don't it'll be harder to help you out. See in my car, when I installed it, it had the harnesses, so all I had to do was match the wires. As for the remote wire, with teh harness, it is made up of two wires, one coming from each of the two harnesses, a blue one and a blue and white striped one. Connect the joined connection of the two wires with the remote wire from the head unit. I'll take pics for you when I have the chance. And remember, this is for when you ahve teh harnesses. If you don't, then I'll see what I can find out to help you out.

 

is this a stock radio?

if after market, it might be somewhat easy to trouble shoot. you know in your after market radio you have a blue wire for your remote (from your aftermarket unit). if you have EVERYTHING ELSE working, and only have two wires, just hold the two wires together (your blue wire, and your striped harness wires). when you notice a difference, that SHOULD work -- assuming you're connecting to the stock amps.

 

thanx!
