I'm trying to install an aftermarket radio (still a two-knob design) into my '84 Wagon. The wiring is different, and I have no clue. My dad already cut the red wire, so yeeaaahhhh... And now, it's overheating. I'm thinking because it needs some sort of circuit in the wiring. Anyhow, please help.

I found this for an 82-87 BRAT I am assuming that the wiring colors are the same.

Constant 12V+ N/A Go to Battery

Switched 12V+ Blue/Yellow

Ground Black

Illumination Red

Dimmer Red/Green

Left Front (+) Yellow

Left Front (-) Blue/Red

Right Front (+) White

Right Front (-) Blue/Black

Left Rear (+) Yellow/White

Left Rear (-) Blue/Red

Right Rear (+) White/Blue

Right Rear (-) Blue/Black

 

hope that helps
