'88 radio wiring diagram?
Hi guys, picked up an '88 Formula today. I went to swap over the deck from my '89 v6 and it appears the wires are a different color on the 88. Anyone have a good simple diagram of what colors = what in 88's?

Re: '88 radio wiring diagram?
If you cant find one
Get a 9 volt battery, touch speaker wires which should be the off colors, colors like red, black, one brown ect will not be speaker wires, if you touch a power wire as such the 9volt battery will get warm
the speaker your working with will crackle telling you its working and you got the right 2 wires when touched to the 9 volt.
Take the power wires and stuff and test them out on the unit its self, be sure you get your constant 12v and and accessory right that way you keep your stations and such
