schmier1 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I found a stock radio for my 1987 Jeep Cherokee but can't seem to find a wiring diagram for the radio or mounting bracket. I can probably cobble something together but I thought I'd ask if you knew anything about this radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minuit Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 That's a very unusual part number. Can you post pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmier1 Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 Here's the front and the bottom of the radio including the label on the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parei_doll_ia Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Are you sure that's not for a 1978 Cherokee? That's an FSJ radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmier1 Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 The year stated was 1984 but I have no idea if that's correct or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmier1 Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 The radio physically attaches on the bottom of the radio and not the sides like my Jeep seems to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howeitsdone Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Would it be for an Eagle?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmier1 Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 I wondered that as well. I can't seem to find the model number anywhere to determine what vehicle it came from. And of course Ebay said it was for a 1984 Jeep Cherokee so that has to be correct, right? (Sarcasm included) Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyRodder Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I have that exact radio in my garage- pretty sure is FSJ, specifically a mid-80s J10/Grand Wagoneer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmier1 Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 So, probably not Jeep Cherokee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 That could've come in an '84 or '85 Cherokee, so the plugs are different than any Comanche if still original. I can give you some guidance on the wiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 That looks like the right mounting bracket the radio is sitting on, at least from what I can tell. The tabs on the bottom are all wrong for a Comanche though. Probably came in an Eagle or Renault but can be made to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmier1 Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 @Minuit Any wiring help would be most appreciated. The mounting bracket was used in the aftermarket radio that was in the Cherokee when I bought it. The bracket seems a little too wide for the radio plus I don't see anywhere on the side of the radio to attach the bracket to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that, or the very early radios used something other than the typical removable brackets. Typical AMC wiring colors: Grey - power antenna, 12V when radio is on Purple w/stripe - IGN switched Black - Ground Orange w/stripe - Panel lamps, 12v with dimmer Pink - Battery, your radio may not have this Blue - Display dimmer toggle, your radio may not have this Green/stripe - LR+ Green - LF+ White/stripe - RR+ White - RF+ Black - Left -, shared between front and rear Black/stripe - Right -, shared between front and rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
