ok the story....
i bought my 95eclipse in april. the guy before me put in a JVC headunit. i was going to replace it. i took it out and i noticed that he did a "custom wire job". he snipped off the harnest........
now my friend (also not to bright) sniped it again..... so now i have wires everywhere, no headunit.
where do i begin fixing this

 

Find the factory harness connectors and try to match the wires lol, good luck.

 

lol..... tried. got another problem.
there all different colors........

 

Lol well u better get out that wiring book

What is themodel eclipse you have,I can get you the factory wiring diagram for the radio.

 

95 gs

 

go to best buy, circuit city, hh gregg, etc and pick up a 95+ Mitsubishi harness, and a reverse harness that will fit it. Wire in the reverse harness to what's been mutilated, the other to the wiring that comes with your new radio. Wire colors on the reverse harness should be as follows:

Yellow 12v Constant
Red 12v Accessory
Black Ground (my harness did not have a ground, so if this is the case, you can go to any of the metal braces behind the dash. Just make sure it's securley fastened and that there is no paint, just bare metal.)
White Front Left (+)
Whte/Black Front Left (-)
Grey Front Right (+)
Grey/Blcak Front Right (-)
Green Rear Left (+)
Green/Black Rear Left (-)
Purple Rear Right (+)
Purple/Black Rear Right (-)
Blue/White 12v Acc Amp turn on
Orange & Illumination wires are Orange and Orange/White, but unless you've got a deck with a built in night time dimmer, you won't need these.

 

ok. thanks. ill work on it tomarrow and let u no how it goes.
thanks

 

how'd that work out for you? did you get it figured out yet?

 

i got all the wres hooked up. but i got a short........
got to rewire it.

 

take a meter to it, check your constant and accessory lines. if it's not those, a speaker lead is grounding out. easiest solution is to run new wires.
