DrSarty 90 1 Cars Posted March 14, 2009 1) If you have a Haynes manual, I'm sure it's all in there. 2) It'll take a little time, but just get a circuit tester to first find the earths & powers (switched & unswitched), then connect your head unit and just use one pair of speaker wires to determine which of the other wires go to speakers.

mhyphenl 10 1 Cars Posted March 14, 2009 If you look at the connector head on, the four outer ones each side are speaker cables and are also thinner, as long as their positions have not been messed with the very outer pair each side are the front, left one side right the other, next ones in are rears. The power will be, yellow/green - earth. Finally the white and blue thick ones, one is switched power ie comes on when the key is turned. The other is constant power so on all the time so you stereo doesn't forget who it is when you turn the engine off. Match these to your stereo, ideally buy an adaptor connector to save any messing around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
