I've searched and found nothing related to this, nor could I find any mention of it on the Bose wiring diagram.

I am trying to replace my stock Bose stack with a single DIN Bose from a 98 Bose-equipped Millenia. The harness clips fit fine, and the deck seems to be getting power. It plays CDs and tunes on the radio, but I get no sound.

I thought my problem was due to the lack of power getting to the Bose amps, so I searched and found that the Bose relay was a PEA GREEN wire. This wire is incorporated into the harness clips. Also, I read that many people have jumped the old CD player clip to restore sound. This is well and good, but of course there is no CD player clip on the new unit; the CD player is integrated already!

I think the problem lies in this TINY (3 wire) clip that I pulled off the Clarion/Bose radio unit. It has two gray wires and one pink one. They seem to be attached on the chassis side to two lines of black primary wire. Are these grounds? Am I colorblind? Is this actually the green wire and I'm on crack? Help!

 

Okay, so here's the wire clip in question. It's the one with, as I said before, two gray wires and a pink one. It snakes up from behind the glove box.



And here's the spot on the OEM radio it connects to. It's the off-white connector in the corner.



Still confused. Please help.

 

Okay, I've been over the Bose wiring diagram and it's REALLY not on there. In fact, there are NO clips that match this one's size. I had thought that someone had swapped in the deck and/or wires, and that perhaps they had used the wrong color wire, but it's not looking like that's the case. Electrical gurus, I humbly request your help! :/

 

No one? Somewhere else I should be posting?

 

Just in case anyone else comes looking for this, it was the antenna wiring. The headunit I had purchased was a piece of crap, and THAT'S why there was no power to the amps.
