what is the black wire with blue striping for in the factory harness for?
You know…you answered every question that popped into my head, with a
caption. I am going to do that too (answer later questions with captions).
I have a Dodge just like yours and you saved me from breaking the dash
(like I have on other rigs). Thank you!
@BLOODLIN3E I am sorry I don’t know having never worked on one. I would
google how to remove the dash of… and I bet you can find out where all
the hidden screws are. Myself I would look at the bottom of the power-ports
or see if the trim around the power-ports unscrews like the bezel around an
old ignition switch.
@nismojuan Well I don’t know about more difficult… It was a $50 JVC not
some higher end system. I know I could have gotten just the pigtail that
plugs into the truck but I figured that is more or less what I pulled out
of the old radio. Living in the boonies means I have to order in anything
like that so even if I got a good deal with shipping (say $15) it only took
me half an hour to remove and splice into the plug from the old radio. That
works out to $30 an hour. Worth it for me.
actually looked pretty sleek. good job man. eff what the turds say about
your install, in the end it looked good enough for you which is the only
important thing
So I have checked and double checked my wiring and still have a problem. I
can only get sound from my right-rear speaker. I hooked up the amp wire to
the blue-white wire from my stereo. I am not sure what else to do. Any
pointers?
for home made it came out rele nice nd neat
Great video! Way to many morons on this site. If I could do that, I would,
but alas I cant. You did a great job. Keep up the great work and dont worry
about these imbeciles
are you freakin serious?????, installation kits? guess you never heard of
such thing, that keeps you from makin so thing out of plastic, and then
tearing into to the stock radio and takin the plugs? just delete these
videos, wow i cant believe some people are so dumb.
Search the net or a Dodge Ram forum for the wiring diagrams to help you
trouble shoot what is wrong with the factory wiring. Also a public library
would have it.
@stripes459 No you should be able to get it though the rubber gromit in the
fire wall but if you are trying just to get power in the cab you shouldn’t
have to. Tap into power under the dash. Because I don’t smoke I used to
take the power from the cigarette lighter but that was before you needed it
to power charge things. I bet you could still do it and it would handle the
load. Unless your powered sub is huge and needs a dedicated line.
LOL, you can NEVER have enough junkers around for parts.
You have tapped into the dash lights by mistake, try to find another source
of power.
no sound. where is the factory amp and what wires do I tap into?
Please help, follow u’r example, which was a very good idea for me, but my
stereo does not get signal unless I turn the lights on. Have any idea why.
Thank you for ur video, learn something new. Helps keep the mind busy.
hey just finished wiring my jvc sterio into a ford wiring harness. i have a
brown cord(telephone muting) and a blue cord with white stripe(remote) left
on the jvc plug. and then on the ford wiring harness i have a black whith
white stripe(amp ground) and a orange With black stripe(negative dimmer)
cords left. in the truck there is also a blue cord with no label. now my
question is what should i do with these cords? NOTE: truck has subs and amp
installed already in the truck.
You don’t have to defend yourself… You did a great install. I too do it
myself. I would much rather build things and get the experience of building
it, then buy them already made. I built both of my CW morse code decoders
that you can check out on my Youtube videos. I enjoy soldering. Too many
people are lazy or not self reliant. Good job..
For under $30 bucks you can buy a after market bracket and plug i give you
credit for tryin to save a few bucks it looks good but i would rather just
spend the money and buy the plug and braket lol
@wgmholland My god what is with you guys? #1 I like many other people in
the world enjoy building things. It is fun, I am good at it and in the end
I have exactly what I want, not just what I can buy online. You can’t/wont
build things, your call but you do not decide that for me. #2 Even a crappy
low quality install is going to set me back $20 plus shipping to my rural
home. It takes an hour to build it from scrap I already had, that is the
same as getting paid $20 an hour. Duh.
I have a 98 dakota and tried this with a jvc from walmart I wired it wrong
and when I put my old stock radio in after my misshap it lights up but
doesnt turn on any ideas and also were did you put the ground to?
you realize you made this more difficult than what it could have been with
those adapters you dont splice into the factory harnessjust have to match
up the wires from the radio to the adapter…
Could of just bought a wiring adapter
by the way.. haha Im watching your video again jiji..!!!!
@MrJerry2722 It is good to know how to do all this ‘crap’. It took me less
than one hour thus saving me $20. That is the same as getting paid $20 an
hour. I will work for $20 an hour…
@wgmholland #3 Dumb, you think being self sufficient is dumb? We are
becoming a country of morons, ignorant consumers dependent on the
manufacturing skills of others. This used to be a nation of clever people
who built things. The whole premise of your argument is more than ignorant,
it is the very root of what is wrong with America today. Oh and by the way,
at my quick count you have 20 some odd punctuation, grammatical and
capitalization errors in your eloquent reply. Troll.
So I take it you didn’t learn to read then…
You are a prime example of how your generation is fucking this country.
Don’t want to work on something huh? You toss that ‘welfare’ label around
with a familiar air. Learn to read, go back and read the description on
both videos, come back and apologize then go get sterilized.
Loose where, side to side, up/down or in/out? Not to be an ass but are you
sure all the bolts got tightened? How about when you bent the tabs over for
the radio holder, any way to retweak those to tighten them up?
you didn’t show every wire connection
i broke the dash,i cuted the factory harness and now the new radio wont
turn on,am a mess!!!
Hey I have a 2000 Dodge Cummins 3500 and where you said the screw was in
the corner of the dash, my truck has the passenger air-bag on/off switch
there. Would the screw still be there? Great video by the way.
Glad to help. Nothing is worse than hearing that dreaded *snap* when
tugging…
Thats why they sell the wiring harnest its only like $20 u dnt have to do
all this crap
What a Dumb idea…..!!! WHY DO ALL THIS WHEN YOU CAN BUY $12usdls. HARNESS
???? HUH??????? and save all this F*CKING WORK and maybe a BAD *SS
ACCIDENT!!! YOU CHEAP WELFARE LOW INCOME HEAD.. Thank you everyone!
Apologize ?? HAHAHAHAHAHA… i New it.. you’re F*cking Retarded!!! have i
good nite hahahah you made my Day thank you!!=)
Thanks!
good video. i learned something by the way. also i have a subwofer i wanna
put in my truck, would i run the wireing under my hood then into the trim
of where the door would be, and do you think that iu would have to drill
holes to do this correctly?
Didn’t use every wire.
Wow. Some truly ignorant fools posting here. Good job with the install and
the DIY harness. Too much work for me though. I’d go the easy way and buy
that stuff.
Awesome video great idea to use old radio harness saved me 150 for a
scosche harness. Maybe you could show a picture of the diagram
ok i installed everything and i double checked,the radio turn
ON(ilumination)but no sound!!!i double check the speakers wiring and all
look fine but not sound,the only thing that i noted is that from the
factory harness there is two wires that i dont know where go,one is green
with a small red line(green-red) and the other is purple,i will apreciate
any help cause i will like to do this by myself,i have a 1999
durango,thanks!!!
