A car stereo harness is really a beige plastic clip with several honeycombed openings at one end along with a snake of wires protruding from another. All major car manufacturers use harnesses to link under-dash wired mechanisms to each other and to other components and power supplies.

Pull the stereo unit from your dash panel. On the rear side of the unit you'll see a lot of wires connected. This really is your wiring harness and will likely be clipped to the device. Unplug the wires from the harness. Finally, identify the wires which are connected to the harness and are coming from your speakers and disconnect them by pulling them free from the harness.

Different after-market car audio accessory companies make harnesses designed to interface to any specific car. Attaching the harness when the radio is brand new and refreshing in the carton is easier than trying to do it while inside the car, and speeds a mobile radio setup greatly. Furthermore, it guarantees all wires are assigned and safely connected.

A snap on wire harness is formed to conform to the coloured wire codes on most aftermarket head unit manufacturers. This will allow it to be simple to connect, change and troubleshoot any part of the sound system. Let it be known that setup, the wiring diagram and harness will change based on automobile manufacturer. The wiring harness may also change by make and model year of the auto.

Consider the back of the harness' packaging and the radio's guide to meet up the colour coding and wire descriptions. Pull off the precut insulation ends on both the radio's attached harness and the new car harness. Twist any bare wires down tightly to ease in insertion into the butt connectors.

Slide the 16 gauge connectors on the radio's harness, then crimp it using the cable crimper. Slide the matching wires from your new vehicle's harness to the other ends of the connectors, and crimp then firmly as well. Snip off the ends of the zip ties with the cable - cutting end of the tool.

A terrible car stereo wiring harness can keep your car stereo from operating. When this happens you either have to pay a machinist to replace this, or you also have to replace it-yourself. Step one is to disconnect it. For the rookie who knows little about an automobile's wiring, this is an easy job that can easily be performed.

In most cases, newer car stereos might have more wires than the outdated car stereo. Within this case, possibly terminate the wires not used or utilize the fresh harness connection slots to add wires for added components, like speakers, subwoofers and external amplifiers. Whenever it's possible, attempt to match new color-coded wires coming from your replacement stereo with the original equipment manufacturers harness.
