anyone know if stock 96-98 stereo factory harness is exact same as 99-00 factory stock stereo harness?
bought a 99 civic and somebody had cut the stock harness out so i got a bunch of wires instead of the stock harness


DONT TELL ME TO WIRE THE DECK HARNESS TO THE CARS CUT WIRES
my car's cut wires are way too short so i would like to get the harness
just dont want to go to the junkyard n pay for a 96-98 harness if it dont work with my 99 ex civic

car:
99 ex civic w/ keyless entry
problem:
stock stereo factory harness was cut, need to replace with another oem stock factory harness

EDIT:
or if anyone know if i can grab a stock 96-98 factory harness and connect the wires to my 99-00 cut harness and will it work?

 

Yes.

 

yes to which??

if so my headunit wont turn on ;/

 

What part of "Yes" is tripping you up? You asked the same question two different ways.

 

oh so they're the same stock factory harness 96-98 and 99-00
k thanks, any help on why my headunit wont turn on??

 

Could be...Hacked wires. Headunit wired wrong. Underhood fuse blown. Simple.

 

thanks grumblemarc, i got it working!

 

for future reference, the harnesses are not the same between 96-98 and 99-00.

 

The physical plugs are not the same but if he rewires any plug in and uses the correct adapter there should be no issues. Because of the cut wires of his original harness it's a non-issue. Anyone else, you'll have problems.
