Default Need some help w/ accord radio harness wires...description



the four wires on the left... I need to know its purpose, because I cant seem to figure out what it connects to.

btw http://www.installdr.com/Harnesses/HA-Wiring.pdf doesn't help cause it doesn't even match up

Red/black - Dim control (+)
red - Dim control (-)

I can't remember the blue, and I don't remember seeing 2 black wires, so I can't help you with that either. The dim control wires I'm sure of.

Dim Control ( aka When you turn your parking/headlights on it dims out the radio lights)

The dimmer uses 2 wires... one for positive, and one for negative. You need both.

EDIT: Well, maybe you won't need both. I never looked at how older gen Accords (5th gen and older) were wired...
