Red Stereo
where do i connect the red, yellow,and black wires in my car stereo?
have a pioneer deh-p7700. trying to connect it to my 04 silverado using the orginal plug that the factory stereo was connected to. i have the wiring harness, but not sure where to connect these 3 wires.
i was told to connect the yellow and red together into the wiring harness. and have no idea where the black wire goes
1-the black wire it’s ground (negative)
2-red wire is positive (+) connect it to a wire that has voltage every time you turn the ignition on ,(that way when you turn the ignition off the stereo will shut off also)
3-the yellow wire is positive also (+) and is your stereo’s memory connect it to a wire that always have voltage even if you turn the ignition off that way the time clock and your favorite stations won’t be erased every time you turn your stereo off (you can connect it to the positive wire that goes to the back of your cigarrett lighter this wire has voltage all the time even with the ignition off)
NOTE-never connect the red and yellow wires together it won’t damage your stereo but if you connect them to a positive (+)
wire that has voltage even with the ignition off your stereo won’t shut off when you turn your ignition off.
if you connect red and yellow together to a wire that has voltage (+) only when you turn your ignition on your stereo will erase the time clock and your favorite stations every time you turn your ignition off.
THAT’S WHY YOU CAN’T CONNECT THEM TOGETHER!
good luck with task and let me know if you have more questions
