This will help avoid confusion whenmaking connections later.Note: Do not connect the power connector to thestereo unit until you have made all connections. Ifthere are no plastic caps on the stereo hookingwires, insulate all exposed leads with electricaltape until you are ready to use them. Identify theleads in the following order.Power LeadIf your car has a radio or is pre-wired for one:Cut the connector wires one at a time from theplug (leaving the leads as long as possible) so thatyou can work with individual leads.Turn the ignition on to the accessory position, andground one lead of the test bulb to the chassis.Touch the other lead of the test bulb to each of theexposed wires from the cut radio connector plug.Touch one wire at a time until you find the outletthat causes the test bulb to light.Now turn the ignition off and then on. If the bulbalso turns off and on, that outlet is the car powerlead.If your car is not wired for an audio unit:Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port forradio (RADIO), accessory (ACC), or ignition (IGN).Battery LeadIf your stereo unit has a yellow lead, you will needto locate the car’s battery lead. Otherwise you mayignore this procedure. (The yellow battery leadprovides continuous power to maintain a clock,memory storage, or other function.)If your car has a radio or is pre-wired for one:With the ignition and headlights off, identify thecar battery lead by grounding one lead of the testbulb to the chassis and checking the remainingexposed wires from the cut radio connector plug.If your car is not wired for an audio unit:Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for thebattery which is usually marked BAT.SpeakersIdentify the car speaker leads. There are two leadsfor each speaker which are usually color coded.A handy way to identify the speaker leads and thespeaker they are connected with is to test the leadsusing a 1.5 volt AA battery as follows.Hold one lead against one pole of the battery andstroke the other lead across the other pole. Youwill hear a scraping sound in one of the speakers ifyou are holding a speaker lead.If not, keep testing different lead combinationsuntil you have located all the speaker leads. Whenyou label them, include the speaker location foreach.Antenna MotorIf your car is equipped with an automatic powerantenna, identify the car motor antenna lead byconnecting one bulb tester lead to the car batterylead and touching the remaining exposed wiresfrom the cut radio connector plug one at a time.You will hear the antenna motor activate when youtouch the correct wire.AntennaThe antenna lead is a thick, black wire with a metalplug at the end.❐ Identify All Leads
