are my 84 trans am radio wires correct?
I bought my 84 trans am with no radio installed in it and the only wires i can find are one blue plug with 4 wires and one small white plug with 2 wires.
neither the factory or aftermarket radio i installed are working, the fuse is good
the factory radio and the wire adapter both have spots for extra plugs, so is my car missing some extra wires or are these all there should be

Re: are my 84 trans am radio wires correct?
I just finished sorting out my '85. Wiring should be the same.
You're missing two plugs.
It looks like you have the rear speakers only and the main power.
I think if you provide a ground to the black wire on the radio it will play.
The ones your missing should branch out from a bundle that feeds into the console from under the carpet like this.
Here is the wiring list.
1985 Pontiac Firebird Car Audio Wiring Diagram
Car Radio Battery Constant 12v+ Wire: Orange
Car Radio Accessory Switched 12v+ Wire: Yellow
Car Radio Ground Wire: Black
Car Radio Illumination Wire: Gray
Car Stereo Dimmer Wire: Brown
Car Stereo Antenna Trigger Wire: Pink
Car Audio Front Speakers Location: Dash
Left Front Speaker Positive Wire (+): Tan
Left Front Speaker Negative Wire (-): Gray
Right Front Speaker Positive Wire (+): Light Green
Right Front Speaker Negative Wire (-): Dark Green
Car Audio Rear Speakers Location: Side Panels
Left Rear Speaker Positive Wire (+): Brown
Left Rear Speaker Negative Wire (-): Yellow
Right Rear Speaker Positive Wire (+): Dark Blue
Right Rear Speaker Negative Wire (-): Light Blue
And here is where I got this info.
