Fordonskompatibilitet
This wiring harness is compatible with select General Motors vehicles from model years 1988 to 2002. Please verify your vehicle's specific model and year against the product's compatibility list to ensure proper fitment before installation.
Installationsinstallation
Before beginning installation, ensure the vehicle's battery is disconnected to prevent electrical shorts or damage. Identify the factory radio wiring harness in your vehicle. The Metra 70-1858 harness is designed to plug directly into this factory connector.
Kabelanslutningar
Match the colored wires of the Metra 70-1858 harness to the corresponding wires of your aftermarket radio's wiring harness. Typically, wire colors are standardized across aftermarket radio manufacturers, but always refer to your aftermarket radio's instruction manual for specific wiring diagrams.
- Strömkablar: Connect the constant 12V (yellow), accessory 12V (red), and ground (black) wires.
- Högtalartråd: Match the positive and negative wires for each speaker (e.g., white/white-black for front left, gray/gray-black for front right, green/green-black for rear left, purple/purple-black for rear right).
- Antenn/Amplifier Turn-On: Connect the blue wire for power antenna or amplifier remote turn-on, if applicable.
- Illumination/Dimmer: Connect the orange wire for illumination or dimmer control, if applicable.
After all connections are securely made (preferably soldered and heat-shrunk, or crimped with high-quality connectors), plug the Metra harness into the vehicle's factory radio connector. Reconnect the vehicle battery and test the aftermarket radio's functionality.
