Well I was gonna install my cd player today but it seems that the stock wiring harness was cut out & a different 11 pin wiring harness in there which hooked up to the kenwood cassette player that was in there.Any suggestions?

 

cry?? id suggest getting a wiring diagram becuz you need to find each wire by color

 

know of any on the net?if not, I ordered some manuals a couple days ago so they should be here in a couple days

 

findin stuff like that online is hard.. my shop teacher tryed to get us to do that pretty often.... i use haynes manuals becuase they have all sorts of info and pretty good wiring diags.. good luck and make sure you dont go half *** becuz the fire would burn from the inside of you dash out...

 

yeah I should just pick up a bunch of connectors tomorrow, I dont think I have any laying around here

 

use butt connectors ( the kind that crimp on vboth sides) i would stay awy from blades or anyhting else

Or just cut the wires on the HU side about half way and splice into the new HU wiring since they are most likely the same universal colors.

Blk=grnd
Yel=batt constant +
Red=ACC (on with ignition)

etc...

 

Yeah, I guess I should start searching for a stock wiring harness so I can put it back in, maybe Ill check at the junk yard sometime this week.

 

Yeah I guess that could probably work too, might be a little easier too

 

If it's not broke, don't fix it....

Sounds like some electronics guy took a leftover generic harness and used that to correct a missing harness.

you have the male and female sides with wires intact, the HU you have now works, why mess with it?

Unless you are intent on getting you car 'original GM' .....how many people here actually care about that?

Just use the chart above to double check the work, chances are you won't even need all of those connections.

 

The kenwood is a cassette player and I want to install my Pioneer cd player...Unless theres a way I can take the adapter off the back of the kenwood & wire it on to the GM01 end of the wiring harness

 

w/e you do.. make sure you make it easy enuff to get he headunit out if you need to

 

yeah, I actually think wiring up the factory wiring harness would be easier now cuz theyre all color coded with the wires that are already in there and everything. Thanks for the help guys
