1987 Radio Wiring


Recommended Posts

I looked in the search... I found 1988-1990.. not 1987. I was just wondering if anyone had any info? I got a cassette radio from a 1995-1996 (maybe, had a airbag) cherokee and it had the plug most do but mine in my truck does not, just a bunch of wires...

 

Any help will be appreciated.

Don't know if this will help, but this is what I figured out from when I was attempting to install a 94 XJ into my 87 (ended up going aftermarket because the tape deck was shot.)

I looked good behind there today and saw the writing on some of the wires.. Then I saw like the LF and LR were connected with 1 wire.. Is that good or bad? Because the passsenger side of my truck, the speakers stopped working..

I got them plugged together but no sound out of the speakers. I turn the power on to the radio and I hear a click then I go to fm and go to a station and silence. I did try to solder the whole headphone aux cord thing. Would that have done anything maybe make the radio come on but no sound?

 

Maybe have burnt something?

 

Thanks
