Ceballo Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Posted September 19, 2010 Those wires in the first post are all power wires and anti theft wires. I found the speaker wires under the Gear shift where all the power window buttons are located. Quote

moetpoppin Posted September 19, 2010 Report Posted September 19, 2010 didnt think of that but thats a good idea if you dont want to cut wires run new main wires (12v+, ACC, and Ground) then you have the existing stuff untouched and always have the option ty Quote TY Moet poppin', hoe hoppin', aint no stoppin' B.I.G. poppa, I'm a bad boy Party and Bullshit - The Notorious B.I.G.

Ceballo Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Posted September 19, 2010 run new main wires (12v+, ACC, and Ground) to where? I can't figure out which is which Quote
bassfiend316 Posted September 19, 2010 Report Posted September 19, 2010 run new main wires (12v+, ACC, and Ground) to where? I can't figure out which is which Run new wires from the new deck. run your constant 12v to the battery, switched 12v to the ignition or fusebox, and ground the...ground. then run new speaker wire to the speakers. But if you really want to hack the factory wiring apart, find the plug that goes where the "1234" is on the pic. 1 is your factory ground ( I'd suggest NOT using this ground though, just ground to some metal behind the dash) 2 is your switched 12v/ignition wire, 3 is illumination/dimmer (if the new deck has it)and 4 is your constant 12v. #5 would be the power antenna, 6 is the speaker wires, but I'd just run new wire personally. So, really, I'd say just rewire all of it. That way you are 100% positive it will work. lol Good luck! Quote
Skullz Posted September 19, 2010 Report Posted September 19, 2010 Don't use the existing wires run new ones to be safe as most older cars back then shared ground wires so it would be pointless in using the factory wires. Quote 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2

I also disconnected the speaker wire harness from the stock volume knob and reran it behind the head unit and connected the corresponding wires. The reason I ran the wires direct is because I figured out how to connect the wires with the stock wires but the battery died in the process of doing this and when I recharged the battery the battery wire had no current, only the ignition wire did. Old cars suck LOL Quote
