I really had nothing better for a title for this thread, but oh well.

I just recently bought a T/A and it unfortunately has a Pioneer headunit in it, and I really want the stock headunit. I also noticed that the horn and a few other things in the interior don't work. I linked said problem to a bad CTSY fuse, but to my dismay, I believe this headunit is using the designated spot for the CTSY fuse.

I guess I have two questions.

Where can I reroute these wires to so that they don't interfere with certain operations?

Where might I get lucky enough to find a stock headunit for a 1985 T/A?

Thanks for any and all responses.

 

I believe there is a constant 12 VDC supply at the terminal labeled

"BAT" on the fuse panel. In your photo, it is diagonal down to the right
from the Radio fuse.

If you use this terminal, make sure the supply wire to the head unit has
an in-line fuse!

 

This is really stupid...but how exactly does one go about doing so? I'm not the most knowledgeable on car stuff, let alone electronics dealing with such.

Thanks.

 

Are you asking about conneting the in-line fuse?

 

How would I go about seeing if there even is an inline fuse and if the supply wire happens to not have an inline fuse, what repercussions could I face?

 

The inline fuse will be on the 12 Volt constant lead coming from the deck.

If you're pulling power from the BAT terminal with a good length of wire, it
should be fused to prevent fires. In the case that the wire shielding wears
through and the conductor rubs onto a ground point, the fuse will blow
before any severe damage occurs.

 

Well, that makes sense. Thanks for your help!

Now I have to wait for my locks to thaw so I can actually try this.
