I want to replace my radio in my 89 xt6 but can not figure out the wires. Does anyone know where to get a diagram or has one. thanks

yeh welcome to the board,

 

easiest way is to get a test lamp from an auto repair shop. clip one end to the body of the car and probe wires with the other end. when the light lights up its gettin 12v. so leave the keys out and u goto find a wire that has power the whole time (perminent power). switch the key acc now there should be another wire that only lights up when the key is on acc or higher. there is also another wire that that gets 12v when your starting your car and tell the radio to turn off for a while so the starter is the only thing draining the battery. you also need a ground just to somewhere on the body for the sterio. You might also want to replace the speaker wiring as this has its ground on the car, so only one wire is needed to each speaker, but make for dodgier sound and cheaper production. thinks that everything

Dave4me,

 

Download this scanned pic I just put up temporarily. It's a big pic file so I don't want to keep it up at the xt6.net site and abuse the picture posting privileges. If I made the picture any smaller, some parts would be difficult to read. I hope this helps.

 

*Pic will self destruct and delete upon your response* :cool:

 

run new speaker wire.

rest should be straight forward.
