I own a 1993 Eddie Bauer 2 Door.

The stock stereo (tape deck) was installed until today.

When I pulled out the wiring harness and checked the wire colors against the chart posted on this site, I found out something strange. The wires do not correspond to the chart (at all). To double check, I pulled out a speaker (these wires matched). somewhere in the car, the speaker wires get changed over.

The color I found were:

Brown

Light Green

Light Blue

Yellow

White w/ red stripe

White w/ orange stripe

Purple w/ white stripe

Blue w/ Black stripe

And about seven strands of non insulated, non-wound wires. All of this was bundled in a gray insulating sheath.

Has anybody seen this before?

Please help

Um..I hope you didn't cut the wire harness off. Just get the proper adapter for your truck.

If your stock radio has "DNR" printed on it then get you will need either this one or this one.

If it doesn't then this one should work. If you have already cut the wires off the reattach the plug and the proper adapter.

i think the pin out of the OEM radio connector is more important than the actual color of the wire... which is why i always suggest just springing the 10 bucks for the proper harness
