Thread: Stereo Wiring Problem

Last night I attempted to replace my stock double din 6 CD changer in my 2004 F150 for an aftermarket single din pioneer DEH 2400ub deck. I have the mounting adapter and that fit relatively easy. my issue is with the wiring. as far as I can tell the speakers are all wired correctly from ford harness to pioneer harness. the problem is that the deck wont power on. the ford harness has a remaining 8 wires, two are a heavier gauge which i assume are for power (+,-). my question is: which wire from the ford harness do i need to connect to the pioneer deck harness to turn on the deck when the key is turned? any help is greatly appreciated. ive spent over two hours on google and reading forums without much of an explanation regarding my issue.

thank you,

It should b the remote wire. It should b labeled. It should b the orange or yellow wire. Good luck

do you think pin 2 (light green and yellow) is the remote wire?

Everyone I have ever done. The remote was an orange wire or a darker yellow. Hey can't hurt. Give it a try

there is no orange or darker yellow wire on the ford harness

Oh. I though u ment the purchased harness. My bad bro. Dunno for sure but I think It is he green and light green

ohh okay thank you. turns out i popped a fuse and relay so thats why it wouldnt turn on. im not very good at this :P

Lol. It happins. Haha. I thought u wrote u checked em. No worries. As long as u have some tuneage. Lol
