So, I finally got some free time today to pull my radio and take a look at the wiring. You can go ahead and consider me a retard when it comes to wiring. I can rip apart and reassemble a motor in 2 hours time, but when it comes to wiring that's something new lol.
So here is what we've got. Amatuer wiring? Definately. Previous owners FTL.
The harness from the radio has the following:
thick black wire, thick yellow wire, one red, two blues. these are all on the 'left' side of the plug, if you will. then on the 'right' side we have two grey (one w/ black stripe), two purple, two green (one w/ black stripe), then two white (one w/ black stripe).
Now this is what each is wired to on the car:
thick black - thick black
thick yellow AND red - yellow w/ red stripe
two blues - both unhooked
solid grey - blue
grey w/ black stripe - grey w/ black stripe
purple #1 - brown w/ white stripe
purple #2 - red w/ yellow stripe
solid green - unhooked
green w/ black stripe - white
solid white - red w/ green stripe
white w/ black stripe - brown w/ black stripe
Just a reminder of the issues i'm having...
1) my radio does not keep memory of any channels or anything, it resets itself every time the car is turned off.
2) my glovebox light turns on when I turn on my headlights. I'm not sure if this problem even has anything to do with faulty radio wiring.
3) my antenna doesn't raise when radio is turned on. again, not sure if this is wire related.
Alright, hopefully you guys can make some sense out of this haha but if not i will try to explain better. Like I said, I'm an idiot when it comes to wiring. If someone can tell me which wires are wrong and what needs to be changed I would GREATLY appreciate it. By the way, I did manage to fix the cluster lights. Was just a blown fuse.
