I have an 89 civic Si in and the oem wire harness was cut (male connector) so I went to the junkyard and got one but it was off a civic sedan. On my hb wires I have a red with yellow stripe (mostly red with yellow stripe) and a yellow with red stipe (mostly yellow with red stripe) but on the oem male connecter I got from the sedan it only has the mostly red with yellow stripe on it. From there on the wire colors match up but I'm left with a white with green stripe and and the yellow with red...where do I connect those wires?

 

searching the forums... find about 10 other threads just like this iv replied to with an indepth wiring answer......

assuming u matched the colors correctly and those are the only 2 left, 1 will be a dimmer which we dont need/use, and the other should be a 12v constant. yellow/red will more then likely be the dimmer which u can leave hanging because stock car harness doesnt have a 12th wire

 

Which is power..the mostly yellow with a red stripe or the mostly red with a yellow stripe. Because only those two wires are left and I couldn't connect those two togetger,..rightm

 

Would I be able to connect the yellow with a red stripe to the white with blue stripe (memory wire) so I've read.?

 

What year was the Civic sedan ? I recently ran into the same problem and solved it quite easily by searching for a pinout for my 89 CRX DX then the pinout for the 92 accord LX that I got the male harness from. Easy peasy

 

uhh..honestyl i didnt check the year. i just hopped in and saw it had the harness and cut it out. my 89 ef hatch has a yellow with red stripe and a red with yellow stripe..one of those is power i know. but the sedan male connector there is only the one with red and a yellow stripe on..sooo...im kinda in the water with this one..any help...is there a different power wire on different trim levels or is the power wire a different color on sedans?

 

i know that the power wire is yellow with a red stripe on my Si Hb but on the sedan male connector its red with a yellow stripe...i dont want to connect the yellow w/red to the red w/yellow stripe as that it might be a speaker wire. does anyone know if the power wire is a different color on different trim levels or if the power wire is a different color on sedans? any help is appreciated.

 

just a hint... speaker positive is above speaker negative.. which leaves a postive/ground/12v constant +- dimmer

 

okay cool. i got it. i just connected the yellow red to the white and green one and it worked
