umm isnt black always ground?

yellow on car should be from battery, and then match that to red on harness, and yellow on harness to red on car... if ya mix em up, the worst that should happen is the Deck wont remember presets

Id have to guess that red is the battery power and yellow the ignition power with black being the ground. Are you sure the radio works?

Are all those hooters girls your wives?

Either way it wouldnt be hard to figure out. One will have power all the time and one will only have power with ignition on.
