thewaiverproject Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Hi I just tried to install a panasonic stereo into my 71 z. This system was used in my old 72 z so the stereo harness was all cut and set by the guys from best buy. I know i hooked up the speaker lines right. all that is left is 3 lines. Yellow for the constant 12v, Red for the ignition 12v start wire, and black for the ground. I directly grounded the black wire to metal, connected the yellow wire to the car's R/B wire, and connected the red wire to at first the car's blue wire, but then I did it to the W/R wire. It didn't work either way. I used the W/R wire that was just to the left under the steering wheel column ( it went into the ignition/ turn signal stallk) because it was of the same gauge. The W/R that goes from the fusebox was very thick so i didnt mess with it. Did I create a wrong connection? any help would be great as I don't want to give up quite yet. I don't think plugging the Red wire into the cars blue wire hurt anything. when i turn on the car or even start it the stereo doesnt turn on. the stereo also has 2 av looking plugs in the back but i don't think they are needed for this 2 speaker setup. i have the haynes manuel and from what i can tell in the wiring diagram it supposed to be these wires... thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
