□ Required Tools
You'll need a screwdriver, a 1.5 volt AA battery,
and the following:
Cut the connector plug off (leaving the leads as
long as possible) so that you can work with indi­
vidual leads.
12 V DC
TEST BULB

□ Identify All Leads
The first Step in installation is to identify all the
vehicle wires you’ll use when hooking up your
sound system.
As you identify each wire, we suggest that you
label it using masking tape and a permanent
marker. This will help avoid confusion when mak­
ing connections later.
Note: Do not connect the power connector to the
stereo unit until you have made all connections.
If there are no plastic caps on the stereo hooking
wires, insulate all exposed leads with electrical
tape until you are ready to use them. Identify the
leads in the following order.
Power Lead
If your vehicle has a radio or is pre-wired for one:
Turn the.ignition on to the accessory position, and
ground one lead of the test bulb to the chassis.
Touch the order lead of the test bulb to each of
the exposed wires from the cut radio connector
plug. Touch one wire at a time until you find the
outlet that causes the test bulb to light.
Now turn the ignition off and then on. If the bulb
also turns off and on, that outlet is the vehicle
power lead.
If your vehicle is not wired for an audio unit:
Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for
radio (RADIO), accessory (ACC), or ignition
(IGN).
Battery Lead
If your stereo unit has a yellow lead, you wilt need
to locate the car's battery lead. Otherwise you
may ignore this procedure. (The yellow battery
lead provides continuous power to maintain a
clock, memory storage, or other function.)
If your vehicle has a radio or is pre-wired for one:
With the ignition and headlights off, identify the
car battery lead by grounding one lead of the test
bulb to the chassis and checking the remaining
exposed wires from the cut radio connector plug.
If your vehicle is not wired for an audio unit:
Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for the
battery, usually marked BAT.
Speakers
Identify the car speaker leads. There will be two
leads for each speaker, usually color coded.
