Hi,
I'm trying to install my CD Player into my car but I'm having problems. I dont have anything fancy at the mo, basically just a CD player and some speakers but I need some wiring help.
The wires in my 1990 Ford Escort Eclipse is kinda weird. There is no ISO on the car so I have to manually wire everything in. Can anyone tell me which colour wire goes where?? I know where the power wires go (I think) but not sure on which is the ground. I don't want to connect it up without a ground as the ground is most important.
Any help would be great.
Cheers,
Adam

Hi,
Thanks for your reply although I have already seen that and it didn't help with the ground. I think I might just find a bolt on the body and connect it to that. It should be ok shouldn't it?
Cheers,
Adam

Yes that is always a safe bet for a ground.
