Total dash chaos

also sounds like you have a grey/red wire for your hazard switch attached to power.

I pulled out the cd player and taped off the wires when i checked them with a meter but I still have some hooked up for later installs I will take a pic on my lunch break

[sleepy-e30]

Solid blue is hooked up to white. * * *
Blue with white stripe to white
Black to brown with black
Red to purple with gray
Yellow to gray with red
Orange to red with green

And there is a red like a jumper going to what looks like another part of the radio harness that's not being used it's hooked to a grey with red on both harnesses

since stereoinstaller is obviously incopetent I will step up and help you out.

take that color wire and hook it up to the other wire, oh fuck I cant remeber which one. if that does not work just start connecting things at random till it works or blows up. oh, I think you already did that!

are you still using the amp in the trunk? I just installed a cd player in an ix and totally forgot about that, fried the amp. Had to go back there and splice the signal wires to the speaker wires. 2lb of weight reduction..
the red/green wire is +12
the BROWN wire(s) is ground

speakers will be a few sets of twisted pair yellows for one side f+r and blues for the other side. cut them back to before they go though that wacky balance knob.. otherwise you'll be missing the fade option.

oh and antenna was a white wire. there was another unused white back in there, i think it was for dimmer or something.

You have yellow and orange reversed.

so that doesnt explain why my driving lights will not turn off on the driver side of the car.. or the inside likes wont work.. or the tach or the mpg or the obc.. i think thats about all that wont work

[sleepy-e30]

i just want the lights off and tach mpg and obc back i could really give a shit less about the raido..

[StereoInstaller1]

Actually, it does.

You are backfeeding voltage through the dash light circuit.

If you don't want my help I can post elsewhere.

The radio is no longer installed and nothing works still .. Lights are still on.. No it's not you it's the comment from the other person
