Radio Wiring
I have a '88 Bronco that the radio has been removed. Instead of just unplugging it, the wires were cut right at the plug so I have no way to identify which wire goes were. The wires from the truck are not of the same color that come directly out of the radio. My only hope is FTE.
Wires from truck are as follows.
Black with white stripe (qty 2)
Green with orange Stripe
Light blue with red stripe
blue with orange stripe
green with yellow stripe
pink with yellow stripe
Yellow with black stripe
orange with black stripe
pink with blue stripe
White with green stripe
Red
Orange with green stripe

Call your junk yard. See if you can locate the same year bronco. Tell them you need the radio wire harnes & plug. If you find it, just cut the plug off with enough of the wires showing and splic it back to your wires.

The red wire is power all the ones with strips are speakers, the blk and white is probably ground. Any way it wouldn't be that hard to hook it up by trail and error. get the power to your radio, then attachen one striped wire to the speaker wire coming out of you radio. Then one by one test each wire. when you have pure sound through one speaker, then you know those two wires go to that speaker. Then repeat process.

Another way is to find the all time hot wire, then find the ignition hot wire. Label those then take the battery out of your cordless drill. start touching the wires in pairs to the battery, This called pulsing the speakers. You will hear the speaker pulse. then mark the wire pair for its speaker location.
