i know most of you are gonna say.. "Well..i can try and help but i have to be there to see it."

so i was boored tryting to figure this out at 12 at nite, and i wipped out that POS webcam i thought id never use. the picture quality is bad, but u get an idea of what i mean. there is already a wiring harness on it. i ripeed this out from a 91 Z28 on my dads lot. The blue "antenna or motor" wire is cut in half, and the black thin wire, not ground wire i dont think is cut in half. there is a short thick stubby black one that im assumming is ground, and then there is a thin black out going into harness, dunno what the is but my question is this: How can i attach the wires so that they work correctly losing as little signal as possible, and not have them come back apart. i was going to go to radio shack and take a look at the options there 2marrow, but i thought i might get a little respose here first. here is that pic if i can get it to work...

didnt work, just go to the link

 

I tried to see that pic, but it was impossible to see. Let me see if I can help you though. The blue wire is cut because it was being run to the amplifier as the remote wire. The thicker black wire will most like ly be your ground wire. What model of Blaupunkt do you have? I have a cancun cassette deck that came in my 'bird when I bought it, so I will remove it tonight and try and find what those smaller black wires do.

Please clarify what other wires I need to identify.

Thanks,
Chris

 

ok it is just the black and blue that is split in half. i have the special market 99 model like 425 or 245 or something, i know its like that, its the second one over on the webpage i think. if they are cut in half for a reason, all the better..just pleaes let me know what to do. thanks

 

ill try and get my dads digi from work sometime soon to get a better pic, but the other half of the wires are on the far right bending up

 

ok i just got home and checked the model #. its a RPD 435. this is the website info....

140W High Power FM/AM/CD Receiver

35 Watts (MAX) power x 4ch with 2-ch RCA preamp outputs
ORC III tuner with 12 FM / 6AM presets, including 6FM / 6 AM Travelstore presets
Detachable face
12 hour clock
Green illumination
Ingnition off clock recall
CD deck with track mix, track repeat, & track scan
Bass, treble, balance, and fade
Four language instruction sheet

thats just the little info at the top, the rest is in a table here http://www.blaupunktusa.com/receiver...ers_index.html . go to the links on the left under 98-99 and then do the Special Market ones. mines the second one over

thanks for your help man, anyone else got an idea?

 

My guess is that the blue with black wire is one of these.

Power Antenna (separate from remote wire)
Illumination

Any other ideas?

Chris

 

well on the top where the paper with all the descriptions are it says :

speaker connections:
1-8 different colors

other connections:
1.no
2.no
3.no
4. constant power +12V : yellow
5.Amplifier/Antenna Motor on/off : blue
6.no
7.ignition switch:red
8.power ground - :black

 

I still don't know what you mean by "split in half."

Anyway, those should all be standard EIA wiring colors. If you've bought a harness adapter for your car, you should just be able to wire it to the radio color-for-color.

 

the harness is already on it. i mean that the blue wire and black wire goes like this...


they go out from the back of the radio, then into these little red clips (every wire does so far) then they would normaly go from those red clips to this wire block that holds all the wires. every wire does this but the black and blue dont do the last step.

both wires are attached to the black and the little red clip thing, but they are cut half way in between.

is this normal? i know the blue wire goes to the amp, so thats ok, but what about the black wire? its a little thing black wire

 

i cant believe no one can help

 

Ford,

If your radio has two different blue wires, one is to raise the power antenna, and the other is to turn on the amplifier. If you have only one blue wire...it can do both functions.

Whenever I make up a harness for a customer's car at work, I always wire up the power antenna wire no matter what...just a neater way to do it.

However, if your car doesn't have a power antenna, and you're not running any amplifiers, you can simply not hook the blue wire up to anything at all. Just be sure to tape or cap off any wires that you decide not to hook up.

P.S. to the moderators here...I'm pretty sure I posted a few more paragraphs last time...and I don't think I said anything harsh. Why was my post edited?

 

thx, its only one wire, and the 92s dont have power antennas. the sheet at the top says power antenna/amplifier so i figured the blue one was cut to run to the amp.


my question now is what is the black one for? is that to run to the amps also?

 

guess ill just have best buy look at it damn german stereos... lol

thx for the help those of u who tried
