Bubseth Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Hey guys I have a 1990 jeep Comanche and ever sence I bought it it had no radio. It had a pioneer head unit. It would turn on but nothing would play so I checked the wiring and it was all off so I just cut every wire connector and did it all over I went off of this for the mj wiring -------- 1988-90 Jeep Cherokee Stereo Constant 12V+ Pink Switched 12V+ Purple/Orange Ground Black Illumination Orange/Black Dimmer Dark Blue/White Antenna Trigger Gray Front Speakers Left Front (+) Green Left Front (-) Black/Yellow Right Front (+) White Right Front (-) Black Rear Speakers Left Rear (+) Gray/White Left Rear (-) Brown/White Right Rear (+) White/Black Right Rear (-) Brown But there is no gray/white wire. The only wires coming out of the dash are orange/black, blue/white, and green/white I know the orange and blue wires don't need to be hooked up but idk where the green/white wire goes. But even with those unhooked the only speaker that shouldn't play is the left rear but when I turn the radio on it turns on like before and still plays nothing. My antenna is unhooked so I tried playing music with my aux chord and still nothing. I checked the fuse and it is fine but I am at a stand still with this. please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87MJTIM Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 The 88 electric FSM has the Grn/Wht as the left rear feed. There is no Gry/Wht in the 88 FSM. I have found that the manual and what the actual wires don't always match. (Mine is factory original and has NEVER been hacked. 1 owner - me.)

Bubseth Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 I still don't know why I'm not getting anything out of my other speakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Are you sure the speakers even work? Especially if you see a lot of rough terrain, the wires inside the speakers seem to like coming off. I replaced one with another from my parts stash only to discover that it also was broken in the same way. Fortunately I had a couple others in the stash as well. Wouldn't surprise me if the PO had replaced the head unit trying to fix a speaker issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubseth Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 Yeah I hooked up my buddies speakers he took out of his car and they worked a few weeks ago when he took them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubseth Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 Ok I connected the green and white wire and I think it wasn't working because I had the speaker laying on my floorboard just seeing if it worked I never knew if the magnet was on metal it wouldn't work but it sounds good now ha still a good thing I checked all the wires they had them all messed up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wires must not have been making a solid connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubseth Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 maybe every wire has to be hooked up for it to work all I did was connect the green/white wire and move the speakers of the metal and it worked and that's the first time it worked sence I've had it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
