Radio Wire Harness Routing and Connection
If the black six-way Deutsch audio to interconnect harness socket housing [6B] ( Figure 1 , Item 1) on the vehicle is connected to an audio harness (5), unplug the connector halves and proceed to the Amplifier Harness Routing and Connection section.
If the black six-way housing [6B] is NOT connected to a harness, install a radio wire harness (Part No. 69200106, purchased separately) as follows:
- See Figure 4. Get the amplifier harness (2) from this kit.
- Follow service manual instructions to remove the plugs from cavities 8, 15, 22 and 23 of the 23-way connector (3) on the amplifier harness. Install the terminated wires (15) coming from the two remaining six-way connectors on the radio wire harness to the 23-way connector as follows:
- Brown wire to cavity 8.
- White/brown wire to cavity 15.
- Green wire to cavity 22.
- Light green/brown wire to cavity 23.
- Visually inspect the front of the connector to make sure the terminals are fully seated before closing the red connector lock.
- Plug the 35-way connector (13) of the radio wire harness (12) into the receptacle on the back of the radio (see Figure 1 , Item 6). Listen for a definite "click".
- Route the shorter branch of the radio wire harness (with a six-way pin housing and yellow/orange and yellow/violet wires), over to the area of socket housing [6B] (1), but do not connect at this time. This pin housing (14) will now be known as connector [6A].
