What colored wire is it for factory amp turn on?

gr3yEX1 · 07-18-2008, 03:09 PM

I have successfully installed my pioneer head unit unfortunately there is no sound coming out of any speakers because I know I tapped into the wrong wire to feed power into the factory amp.

I used the blue wire with grey stripes and that didn't work. The harness was the smaller one. I'm thinking from what I read here you get it from the bigger harness that has the blue grey striped one next to the purple wire.

Is that the right one?

What do you people use as the amp turn on wire?

i think it's the light blue one. Check the electrical forum and one of the stickies has a break down of the factory wiring
