For my '02 Grand cherokee I went out and bought the Harness adapter and proceeded to install the new head unit. The harness has layout is the following (minus the speakers).
Batt > Yellow
Acc > Red
Ant > Blue
allum/dimm > Orange
Ground > Black
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The headunit wiring harness is like this:
Batt > Yellow
Acc > Red
Ant . Blue
Amp Rem > Blue white
Brake > Pink
Tel mute > Brown.
Ground > Black
My problem is that I cant get the radio to turn on. If I touch the orange to the 2 yellow the thing only works when head lights are on . and what the hell do I hook the brake (pink) wire to Or brown tel mute..
red to red
yellow to yellow
black to black
blue capped (antenna not motorized)
pink capped
brown capped
I need some help with this one guys.
It seems to me that your constant wires (yellow) have no power to them. Check the fuses (check the fuse on the harness/in the back of the deck if it has one). The reason it works when you connect it to the orange wire and turn on the lights is because you're now feeding power from the light circuit.
The brake wire will connect to the wire at the brake switch that has 12 volts when the brakes are applied (sounds like a newer Eclipse multimedia unit?). The mute wire will be connected to the mute output if you have a phone kit installed.
