Any wiring experts out there that wants to help me hook up my stereo head unit in my car?

Located in 91770 for all those close by.

Really frustrated with these wires =(.

And I don't want to risk short circuiting anything being it is my first time dealing with this.

 

Did you buy the adapter? if you did than you would not need any help.

 

for some reason, your username reminds me of someone who used to be in my clan when i used to play Socom Navy Seals for PS2. xP

 

yeah i have that adapter, but my car doesn't have the stock stereo clip anymore.
It's just a bunch of cut wires.

So I have to do it by connecting wire by wire now, but the thing is I don't know how to do that =P.
Rather have an experienced person help me and show me some stuff so in the future I can help other people and continue the cycle of learning ;D

And no finishline, I did not play socom =P. All I play is CS and left 4 dead haha.

 

Get a copy of the wiring schematic from a FSM (89-91 are essentially the same in this situation), then set it next to the wiring instructions that came with your head unit.

There is a link in a sticky at the top of the main 2nd Gen forum that will take you to an online copy of the FSM. But to save you the trouble, go here:

Go to the 93rd page of this pdf and the color codes for what wire does what is all there. Make sure you're looking at the wire color BEFORE the aftermarket plug wires that was there.

 

Left 4 Dead got boring.

 

i'll do it for u ...........................its gonna cost u twoo hundred dollars for house call.

 

I kinda get the right idea. These schematics are killing me. I kinda understand what wire goes to what while looking at the post icemark has in the 2nd gen section. But what im worried about are the grounds and the relay.

 

all good. good luck tho.

 

^lol don't have 200 dollars. I can drive to someones house to help me out. I would get my brother to help me but he's never free.

 

i took mine to a stereo shop..only cost like 30bux to install..well, at least mine did.

:AA:

 

looks pretty repetitive, i'll wait til it's like $20

 

i think that game is awsome..its too bad that its only for the x-crap..

:AA:

 

actually its for the pc too.. and I have it for free and cracked

I'll show you how to get it for free if you help me XD

 

dude, i wish i could help..cause i wanna play it..

 

Haha, I'll help you anyways. Aim me at kn1v3z.

Still need someone to help me, don't wanna short circuit my new stereo.

 

I'd do it for you

but I'm here in norcal, takes only 30min to do a radio if I'm smoking weed and drinking beer.

 

LOL haha. I'd drive up there if it wasn't so time consuming haha.

 

I might be going to socal in a week or two if I remember I'll let you know or pm me in a week or two and remind me if you didn't get it done already.

If your out of my way tho some gas money for going to you would be expected.

Also if I do your gonna have to learn, so you can do it yourself I learned how to do this **** when I was like 13 or so.

 

I'll be glad to let you know in a week .

I haven't had anyone to teach me how to wire things and I don't have the materials and books necessary to learn. I'll be glad to learn from ya.

 

In preparation, go to an electronics supply house (I like MarVac) and buy a good soldering IRON (not gun), solder, flux, and a good length of shrinking tubing about twice as wide as the largest wire you are faced with. Also buy a hand torch (like you'd light a fireplace with).

Do NOT use scotch lock's, cripers, etc. Not near as clean an install and you run the risk of developing a loose connection down the road. Been there, not fun to find. Do it right the first time is always a good idea, shortcuts not.

 

Hey iced,
I know the car very well. I can help you if you are willing to drive to Alta Loma.
Thanks Robert

 

Alta Loma near rancho right? Yeah it's only a 40 minute drive. I'll PM you.

Oh and Hozz, yeah I'll go get them shrinkers, cause I realized how weak the crimpers got

 

Im located in Orange. I can do the whole thing for you for $20. Certified in Mobile Electronics

 

sounds interesting, but I might go with robert since he has seen my car first hand before.
