i just pulled me stereo out to add my rear speakers, and i noticed a few wires goin nowhere, they are coming out of the main harness, right beside the blue positive wire goin to stereo. one wire is black, the other 2 are blue, one with a yellow strip and the other with a red strip. can someone tell me what they are????

cheers

theres a limit to what they can be...

either constant from the battery, or
switched 12v or
earth

gotta have those three and if no ones screwed around with it before you should have wires in there that run to the back shelf where the speakers would be installed from the factory

my tx did anyway

Blue with a red trace shows as a speaker wire, the diagram only shows a single speaker so I think it is likely the blue with a yellow trace is also a speaker wire.

The black shows as an shared earth for the radio and the clock.

sweet, thanx, nothin imortant than. now that you mention it, those blue wires look like the wires that go to the speaker in the dash. but theyre there, so i will just chop the ends off those wires and wrap some tape around them.

cheers
