scobad Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Morning. last night I finally got around to setting up my new HU (head unit radio). My 88' Laredo had the original tape deck - (anyone want it? PM Me - I will sell for $10) Anyway, I went to http://www.the12volt.com/installbay/ste ... /1219.html and the wire color do not match. Further, I found around here the wiring diagram for the jeep and now...I have left-over wires? Does anyone have a SIMPLE list of wires and colors? New Head-unit has two groups of wires 1. Is power related 2. Is speakers (Left, right - Front rear...) I am just trying to ensure that all WIRES are used and soldered correctly ! Thank you !!!

tugalo Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 There should be a schematic pasted to the top of the original radio for th3e power and speaker wires. According to the 88 FSM wiring diagrams, the red/tan wire goes to the power antenna, and the dark blu goes to the digital clock for dimming.

CGross Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 This is what it was on my 86: Comanche Side Constant...........Red 12v switched......Red/Tan Ground..............Black Left Speaker......Green/Blackwhite Right Speaker.....Black/White The wiring colors change a lot. I recommend you get your multimeter and a AA. Use the multimeter to determine what's getting power switched or constant, and use the AA between the two wires you think are for a particular speaker. If the speaker wires are right, the AA's charge will allow the speaker to move some and create some noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
