So I bought a junked EG Hatch 92 SI, lovely car but today while checking out the wiring under the dash I noticed I have no plug for my stereo. I'm at a lost on looking for this plug, my question was Which harness is the Stereo plug supposed to be loomed with; for example the Climate Control Harness or Dashboard/Dimmer Light harness?


Thanks in advance, if I didn't state the question clear enough please let me know so I can further clarify or even take pics or anything. Thanks much appreciated

 

Here is a series of pictures, I removed this harness with all switches, clock, cluster, heater panel, radio etc from a JDM EG civic dashboard.
You may clearly observe that the radio connector is attached with the dashboard wiring harness. It is 16 pin rectangular connector.











The connector placed next to the cluster is the 16 pin radio connector

 

These two pages are taken from the service manual of the 92 95 civic. Apart from the four power related pins which may be attached with the under dash fuse-box, the speaker wires can be found in the front doors harness and the rear speaker shelf harness going beside the driver seat.

 

So If my dash and dash lights are all working the 16-pin is there some where correct ? Thanks for the good info by the way

 

The last owner might have removed that connector and may have joined the spliced wires directly to the new stereo, as the aftermarket stereos have their own style of input connector and normally comes with pig tail wires.

 

Okay right. But the wires should be there for example right speaker + has to be danglin somewhere right ? Regardless if it is pinned/spliced up. That is if the dashboard harness is hooked up

 

Yes the wires should be there, he (the last owner) had been very cruel if he got them removed from end to end but that's very unlikely. People who run heavy speakers with or without amplifier run parallel wires along the route and do not disturb the original ones.
Check for any unpinned, cut or spliced wires, color match them or remove the front doors speaker grills and do a continuity test with a multimeter etc.
