Or you don't have the key in the ignition and turned to accessories The ideal configuration of stereo wires is Yellow - Constant power Red - Accessories power Black - Ground Blue - Power Antenna (or amplifier) Purple - Car kit (mute) Green - Dimmer 4 sets of another solid colour (positive) + same colour with trace (negative - thin black line or dotted line) - for speakers This adds up to 14 wires which is double what you have . The power antenna, car kit and dimmer are nicities which aren't on every deck. Your Deck may also only be two channel. Without trying to confuse you, this might offer an explanation to some missing wires. Some decks also share a common speaker negative. Normally between the same side channels (eg, left front and left rear) but I imagine they could share the same negative for all channels. Also, I think you can wire the dimmer wire up to anything that gets power when your lights go on, eg, a little light behind your dash or the wire on your indicator stalk (if that's where you turn your lights on) that is for lights. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. A test light is great for finding stuff like this. Hoppe this helps, Dave [Updated on: Wed, 15 September 2004 04:13] [Report message to a moderator]
