Radio Wiring color breakdown?

[jrhartman]

I need to know which wires on the standard radio in a '97 are the Constant, Aux and the Ground....I am sure I can figure it out, but instead of guessing I wondered if anyone has the wiring diagram on line?

Thanks

Do you have the luxury system or the JBL system?

99% of the time in newer cars this is the color code
RED - Switched power
YELLOW - Constant Power
BLUE - Power Antenna
BLUE/WHITE - Amp Remote or Accessory turn-on lead
BLACK - Ground
ORANGE - Dimmer
GRAY - Front Right
WHITE - Front Left
VIOLET - Rear Right
GREEN - Rear Left

antenae crap

your ant. is in the trunk it is integrated into the tuner.the easiest way to fix this without poping your backseat out is to buy a powered unit they are about 20 bucks and you hook it up to the power ant.wire off your stereo and other questions let me know i just did whole overhaul of my sound sys.
