Follow these steps to connect the
harness with the 14-pin connector to
ground, primary and memory backup
power, and optional components.
1. Make sure you disconnected the
cable from your vehicle battery’s
negative (
–
) terminal.
2. Connect the black ground wire
(with in-line filter and fuse box)
to a chassis ground, such as a
metal screw attached to a metal
part of the vehicle’s frame. Be
sure the screw is not insulated
from the chassis by a plastic
part.
3. Connect the red power wire
(with in-line filter and fuse box)
to a point in your vehicle’s fuse
block that has power only when
you turn the vehicle’s key to
either the accessory (ACC) or
START position.
This connection turns on and
powers the stereo when you turn
on the ignition or turn the key to
ACC, and turns off the stereo
when you turn off the ignition.
This prevents your vehicle’s bat-
tery from being drained if you
leave the stereo on when you
turn off the ignition.
4. Connect the yellow memory wire
(with in-line fuse holder) to your
vehicle battery’s positive (+) ter-
minal or to a point in your vehi-
cle’s fuse block that provides a
continuous source of 12 volts.
This connection provides contin-
uous power for the stereo’s
memory and clock display when
the ignition is turned off.
