this is dDuB:

ok ive looked at all the manuals and "wiring diagrams" online and am incredibly confused....can someone please tell me what the radio power wire is? or give me a link to a how-to install cd players in a 2nd gen rx7? PLEASE any help would be greatly appreciated on which wires in the car are what...

 

I got a schematic of the stereo wire harness. I can't wait until they get this forum fixed so we can upload pics and the search function works. I'll try again later to post the pic.

 

boom

 

what color is the constant 12 volt, the connectors arent on the wires anymore?

 

yea............................................... .................................................. .................................................. ........... double post

 

Have you searched? It's been covered many times.

 

Get a volt meter and see which one the "hot" wire is. One wire will give you current, even if engine is off. This one is for your clock, etc.

The other will give you current only if ignition is set to "run" of "acc". This is your "hot" wire.

Have fun.

 

Its blue with a white stripe

 

yes maynard and i searched and searched when we couldnt get it to work....we looked at the diagram that icemark has posted numerous times, we read the online manuals, looked at the online wiring diagrams, and we couldnt get the deck to have power and turn on... thats why we posted and asked, nothing was working

 

dont forget the white wire for the stock speaker amps

 

oops, put the white wire with the 12 volt AC wire

 

Have you checked each wire with a DMM or test light? If each wire has power when it should then it's probably a problem with the deck.

 

we didnt have a test light or anything...


anyways, long story short, we spent a good 5 hrs on this and couldnt figure any of it out, so i took it to cartoys...normally i dont trust those guys cuz of past stuff they've done to me, but i went in and told them all i wanted was for them to hardwire it for me and get it set up to have the deck put in, and i did the rest myself...i guess the installer said that it was a complete mess, and he had to go into the wiring in the back speakers cuz something was screwed up, not sure...he only charged me 30 bucks tho so thats good ;D
