Stereo help

Does anyone have a picture of the gray, black and yellow wires hooked to a stereo no matter how I wire it the stereo won’t turn on?

What kind of stereo are you trying to hook up?

 

[Iamsoocluess]

A pioneer system for a Chevy 76

so no instruction booklet in the stereo box? Maybe on the web. Pretty much explains where they go like below.

I have those three idk which connect where I tried no power on the stereo but currents is going through

Remember there are TWO different power connections to the new stereo if it is digital. The other power needs to be a battery hot connection. This is for all the memory such as presets and clock while truck is off. Takes very little power. Remember in an earlier thread you were told to connect this to the fuse box on a constant hot connection. I think I attached a picture of our hot connection

Blue arrow/ blue wire battery hot all the time

Have you used a test light or meter to check the wires you are connecting, to see if you have full time 12 volts, switched 12 volts (accessory) and dash light voltage? Have you checked the black to see if it really is a ground?

Knowing what voltage you have (verified) is much better than plug and pray.

There are companies that make the connection harness from the Pioneer to the stock GM plugs
