bratman18 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Are you trying to install an aftermarket radio? If so, they sell adapter harnesses right on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustakrakesh Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Yes I'm trying to put in a new radio. Shouldn't I just be able to solder to the right wires? Thats how I usually do it... I guess what I'm trying to say is that wiring diagrams and charts don't match up with my stock radio. So I have no idea what wire does what.

Gloyale Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Are you trying to install an aftermarket radio? If so, they sell adapter harnesses right on ebay.Yes but the adapters splice right side and left side grounds tougher. Kills the deck. Green wire by itself is constant power Blue/yellow wire is switched power White is front left positive Yellow is front right positive Run new wires to the front speaker grounds at the kick panels Yellow white is rear left positive Use the blue/red for rear left negative White/blue is rear right posit e Use the blue/black for rear right negative Red and red/green wires are for illumination dimmer Edited July 31, 2013 by Gloyale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad! I should be able to get this to work. Where are the rear speakers located? Is it possible my model only came with front speakers? Also why new grounds? (My guess would be that after 20 years they're probably worn out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(My guess would be that after 20 years they're probably worn out) Factory wires combine front and rear grounds together. This setup doesn't work well for decks designed to run separate grounds. Running new grounds to the front speakers is one simple way of seperating the wiring. Your loyale may not have rear speakers, but the wiring will be there for them. If you want to stay with just front speakers, no need to seperating grounds just use the wires listed as rear grounds for the front ground.

Mustakrakesh Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 So I've connected everything properly triple checked. My radio only turns on when the light switch is on... Is this normal? I checked with a test light too I'm only.getting power on red/green when my lights are on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I am using one of the ebay harnesses from Scoche (spelling) with no issues at all. They are a couple bucks. I wouldn't want to cut the factory wiring personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustakrakesh Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 So actually after reading I figured it out. I'm not going to use red/green. Blue yyellow works as my ignition 12v And I found a green wire with a connector that works as a constant 12v Thanks anyways! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have rear speakers now, but I have in other Loyales hooked up the same way and never had an issue. But I did however run dedicated front speaker wires to the doors, instead of using the factory front speaker wires. Could this be why I didn't have issues?

Yeah, with no rear speakers you are all good. OR..... if you run dedicated wires to the fronts and run the the rear speakers through the harness you are be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
