Re: radio power wire?? (umair)

What exactly do you mean by it is missing?

MM&Y of car?

Make and model of "radio"?

Which wire is missing, the acc., [switched] or the constant power, [hot at all times]?

just bridge them with the other side of the a harness but buy the BUTT CONNECTORS which allow for better connection other then just tying them together.

The yellow/red is the acc., [switched] power lead, [pin 2 from the right front] the 12V+ constant is white/yellow or white/blue, should be pin 10, same front row, closest to you pinkie.

I can't tell if there is anything in that spot, or has it been cut short?
