I have a 1988 4Runner.

The front speaker wires (pink, purple, green, blue) and the constant (blue/yellow), accessory (gray), ground (brown) and illumination (green) are all on one wiring harness. That's it.

There is a second harness with white (rear right -), red (rear right +), black (rear left +) and yellow (rear left -), and a white/black wire which I don't know the purpose of, is this correct?

I found this and was wondering if it was right:
Car Radio Battery Constant 12v+ Wire: Blue/Yellow or Blue/Black
Car Radio Accessory Switched 12v+ Wire: Gray
Car Radio Ground Wire: Brown
Car Radio Illumination Wire: Green
Car Stereo Dimmer Wire: N/A
Car Stereo Antenna Trigger Wire: N/A
Car Stereo Amp Trigger Wire: N/A
Car Stereo Amplifier Location: N/A
Car Audio Front Speakers Size: 4″
Car Audio Front Speakers Location: Dash
Left Front Speaker Positive Wire (+): Pink
Left Front Speaker Negative Wire (-): Purple
Right Front Speaker Positive Wire (+): Green
Right Front Speaker Negative Wire (-): Blue
Car Audio Rear Speakers Size: 5 1/4″
Car Audio Rear Speakers Location: Side Panels
Left Rear Speaker Positive Wire (+): Black
Left Rear Speaker Negative Wire (-): Yellow
Right Rear Speaker Positive Wire (+): Red
Right Rear Speaker Negative Wire (-): White

I just don't want to hook anything up wrong.

 

Can you just use something like this? http://electronics-pluz.stores.yahoo...9hainoemr.html

This will make it plug and play.

The second harness you asked about is used for the rear speakers.

 

x2, No need to splice up the whole wiring harness.

 

The main one was cut off...the rear speaker one was still intact.

I matched them up like it said above and I'm not getting any power. Where would the fuse be for the radio?

 

radio fuse is under the dash, drivers side

 

Like in the fuse panel? I have a power source but not the constant. Someone told me the fuse was in-line but didn't say where.

 

Check the fuse panel up by the battery under the hood. Factory fuse is not inline.

Makes perfect sense you lost your constant fuse since the wires were hacked up. If it was stolen they probably cut all the wire at once and therefore shorted the constant to ground, or it just shorted bouncing around in there.

Regardless, open the hood, look left and down behind battery and you'll be rockin in no time.

 

In the fuse panel with the horn and headlight fuses? Everything there is fine. Is there another fuse panel?

 

Driver side kick panel...Most noteably the 12V fuse should be in there

 

Kick panel:




Panel behind battery:

AM1 40 amp Fusible Link / Gas Engine

- AM1 60 amp Fusible Link / Diesel Engine

AM2 30 amp Fusible Link / Gas Engine

- AM2 80 amp Fusible Link / Diesel Engine

Head 30 amp Headlight Relay

Head(RH) 10 amp Right Hand Headlight Fuse

Head(LH) 10 amp Left Hand Headlight Fuse

Charge 7.5 amps Alternator Charge Fuse

Haz-Horn 10 amps Hazard Light / Horn Fuse

Fuel Heater ? Fuel Heater / Diesel Engine

Which one would it be? I checked all the fuses and they looked fine.

 

Hmmm....i thought that it was that Haz-Horn fuse.

Ummmm....have you tried replacing it rather than checking it? Maybe it was damaged up more where it isnt noticeable??

You sure that blue/yel wire doesnt have 12V+

 

Yeah I checked it and got nothing. I replaced the haz/horn fuse anyway, and it didnt help.

 

the you have other problems obviously. try to trace the wire back. Maybe the thief yanked too hard and broke it back further.

Anything else not working that operated on constant. horn, dome, hazard, etc.

That fuse under the dash has power coming in and out? or is just the fuse good. If power is coming out start tracing it and look for something unplugged/cut/broken
