Hello I am putting a stereo in my car and the old harness is there but the constant power wire is stated as being yellow/red and the only wire I have left is the white/green one i can't find it on any diagram and my radio won't turn on unless I hook the solid red and solid yellow wires to the white and blue wire which makes it permanently on any help is appreciated

Walmart sells a stereo harness adapter for 10 bucks , try getting it and hooking it up , that's what I did

Thats what we are gunna try today I was just hoping there was a quick fix

check for switched acessory yellow/red ( may look almost white due to age of wire)
also look for possible blown fuse in fuse box under dash as well as under hood fuse panel.

u may have blown a fuse hookin it up wrong or if a wire touches wrong....

but uuhhh... according to how i wired mine...
blue/white is 12v constant
green/white is 12v ignition
black is ground

and my yellow/red is right rear speaker positive

That's how mine is I tried wiring it with the red stereo wire to the blue and white and the yellow to the white and green one but the stereo wouldn't turn on I checked the fuse I think but my light in my car is still working so it couldn't be that fuse I don't think I still haven't gotten it I have all the tools but the person I had wiring it is being lazy and I want it done soon I can wire it myself if I know what the green and white wire go too I had it wired white/green to yellow and white/blue to red and also tried it vise versa really at a standstill right now cuz i don't know what's wrong thanks for any help

I tried that and it wouldn't turn on that speaker wire is red/yellow but the diagram says a yellow/red wire is for the constant but I only have a white/green wire left

Hatesmakingaccs

I had 11 wires wired up and the last wire was white and green there isn't a yellow and red one in this car

take a picture of the original radio harness? rear end where it plugs in. i got a old harness from teggy/crx since there the same laying around in my room, and its plugged into the adaptor. so ill list all i got labled to which just for an idea

br8crumb

the universal honda harness... has
purple - purple/black right rear positive - right rear negative
green - green/black left rear positive - left rear negative
black ground
blue not used
red 12v ignition
yellow 12v battery
orange/white dimmer
white - white/black left front positive - left front negative
grey - grey/black right front positive - right front negative

and i have 2 oem plugs laying around..

plug #1
red/yellow is 12v ignition
blue/white is 12v battery
red/black is dimmer
yellow/white not used
black ground

plug #2 shows
green/white 12v ignition
white/blue 12v battery
red/black dimmer
black ground

green/white and red/yellow seem to be the only difference between the two, they are the 12v ignition.

oem harness =
red/green - right front positive
bue/green - left front positive
black/red - dimmer
blue/white - 12v battery
yellow/red or green/white - 12v ignition
yellow/white - is not used
blue/yellow - left rear positive
red/yellow - right rear positive
brown/black - right front negative
grey/black - left front negative
black - ground
grey/white - left rear negative
brown/white - right rear negative

I wired it up again white green to red and white blue to yellow and still nothing not sure what to do have a 15 fuse in the stereo slot thing and it appears to be healthy still really desperate for help

Hatesmakingaccs

I figured it out I tried replacing the fuse in the cig lighter relay and it fixed my stereo along with my cig lighter now though the stereo seems very quiet and poor sound any ideas for the next step

br8crumb

poor quality could be a bad ground whether it be how u wired it or where it actually grounds out. also could be running power where the antena runs which can effect signal

Hatesmakingaccs

I found a sweet spot where it is not bad the bass has to be all the way down though it seems to be ok but to get loud it has to be almost maxed out I also noticed that there are no rear speakers but there where wires for them

Hatesmakingaccs

I thank all of you for the help I also found two speaker slots in back and slapped a speaker in both of those I can charge my phone now sittin in my car as I write this any extra tips on making it more bassy and also I'm not even sure what an amplifier does or when I need it thanks again

br8crumb

most modern spearkers arnt ment for bass. if u really want that shaking trunk then a full system is the route to go.

hard to listen to music with a loud exhaust personally, comes in handy at events/parking lots though cause with nothing running i can hear music or plug phone in
