When I bought my 86 F250 2yrs ago the radio had been removed before I bought it. I found these wires hanging there. Here's a picture.

1Gray wire,1 gray wire black stripe. 1green wire,green wire black stripe,black wire.gray connector spliced red green stripe,white green stripe,2 black white stripe.

Any idea's what these go to? Thanks

 

Hard to tell from the pics, could they be for the radio & speakers. A Haynes manual should have a good schematic in the back of it ( w/ color codes, etc. )

 

Could they be speaker wires done by an BYM ?

Usually the color is paired with the same color that has a black stripe
ie: Green wire and green/black stripe wire is one stereo channel positive and negative circuit

Well the 2 Black/White hash wires match the colors of the speaker ground wires.

White/Green hash matches right Speaker Positive connection.


None of the rest of the colors match the radio wires however.

Orange/Green hash is Left speaker.

Then on the Power Harness side for the radio...

Yellow/Black Hash is 12 volt power On/off.

Light Green/Yellow Stripe is 12 volt power for Memory.

Orange is for Premium sound amp connection.

Lt. Blue/Red is for radio dial illumination.

Nothing else matches those other wires in that location either.

Digital Clock:

Brown
Lt. Green/Yellow
white/purple
black

Combination seatbelt and headlamp buzzer:

Brown
red/pink
red/yellow hash
black/pink
black

or the heater a/c...

red/orange
lt. blue/orange
orange/black
brown/orange
brown/white
lt. green/pink
black

or for the fuel switch:

Red
yellow/white
dark blue/yellow
yellow/lt. blue
brown/white

so my suggestion would be to physically trace out where those wires go to.

they do not match anything that should be around the radio area, except for the two mentioned at the start. Those aren't an exact match either... Hash vs stripe.

 

Ok Thanks.
