So, I've been in the process of straightening out issues this car came with when I got it, and I've been living without a radio for a while which is starting to **** me off. The previous owner said the radio stopped working and was pulled. I discovered the radio fuse was popped and took it out.

This, however, is what the wiring harness looks like:

The car does NOT have keyless entry, so I realize one of those connectors is probably superfluous. I do not know which one I'm meant to connect an aftermarket adapter to, though. I also don't know if those loose wires on the right mean that a connector was yanked off, but I sure hope not because that would mean I'd have to deal with those wires individually.

...help?

You have no audio connector anymore. That mess of cut wires is all you have left.

Well that's just ******* great. I guess I'll have to take the dash off to work on them. I'm assuming they're color-coded and I can find that info in the Honda manual?

here's the wiring chart.

i love how cheap or dumb some people are. why cut the connector off when you can get an adapter harness for under $10? bunch of hacks.

i am surprised none of the exposed wiring has grounded out and popped a fuse.

Well, the fuse WAS popped, so...

Sigh. How big of a pain in the *** is it to get the dash off this car? There's some other stuff I need to look at in there anyway so I might as well get it over with.

Edit: Looked it up and I guess I don't need to take out the whole dash, just the cluster with the vents and climate control. That won't be too bad. I do need to replace my instrument cluster lighting or see what the hell is wrong with it anyway. The fuse was popped, I put a new one in and it worked fine for a while and now it doesn't even though the fuse is still good. WELP.
