Hello everyone and thx for replying.. There was a pioneer stereo installed in my 85 4runner which lost an amplifier.. So i preceded to check all of the wiring and found numerous problems with wiring for various speakers etc.. I started from scratch, but now the Stereo is not getting power at all.. I see the main harness has a black wire with a white stripe, red wire with a green stripe and a white wire with a black stripe.. The power wire out of these three is the red wire with a green stripe with the key on.. Now I see a few green wires but i believe they all go to speakers.. i'm expecting the black wire with a white stripe to be powered always possible for the memory of the stereo? Any help with what wires are for what, would be great.. I have the 85 FSM and i see two wires with different colors for the stereo.. This shouldn't be so hard after rebuilding my drivetrain on this rig..

 

Electrical tester. Check each wire, key on, key off. If you can't get power, check fuse. Still can't, run new power wire from fuse block or battery.

 

black w/ white strip is probably your ground, and im not sure about color but one of the other two is constant power for memory like you said and one is switched power for the ignition. Check fuses?

 

try this, maybe it'll help:

thx for replying, i will check the fuses first.. Because of the color schemes, i wonder if this is the original wire harness? i was hoping someone had the original color pattern of wires.. But the 12Volt chart looks like a good spot to start to figure out each wire..

 

hows the install?
any problems? pics of wiring?
