Stereo wiring

yes! it worked rago your a lifesaver, i just gave you street cred... i think
now if only someone can help me with this problem then i will have no more electrical problems! thank you rago


heres my last electrical problem, well hopefully,....

every time before i start my car i have to connect the turn signal switch (right under the steering column) and when i turn my car off i have to disconnect it. If i dont then i will have to jump-start my car because it drains my battery, and because i keep connecting and disconnecting it corrodes my positive terminal on the car battery and i have to keep buying new ones. i dont think that radio situation i just fixed could have anything to do with it because i have the switch disconnected and it still plays radio fine.

any ideas sorry bout all my problemzzzz lol

Yellow is constant & should be hooked to a constant power source.
Red is your accessory wire.

Trust me & hook it up like this. If you can't keep memory after hooking up correctly, you done something wrong or the stereo needs worked on. As far as shocking yourself or burning up something in the stereo, I used to run a wire straight from the battery to the stereo back when I played around with stereo equipment & big bass. You won't get shocked.

Also, I wouldn't suggest hooking both wires to constant power unless you like dead batteries. There's a reason why you can't run your stereo without the ignition switch turned on.

My mistake, I applogize.

and to think,i gave you my # to call me,and you never did. now Rago gets street cred and i get $h!+.

I gave you some cred. You did mention switching wires earlier in the thread but I guess it went unnoticed?

lol ya i gave him cred too but he said something about connecting them both to battery and when i tried that it just sparked and it wasnt quite what i was looking for
