Can you narrow it down a little to what you are doing and what you need?
If I have some more information and an idea of what you are trying to do, perhaps I can help.

thanx man... but problem is now is that i dont know which Radio Connector i have....

[HenryJ]

I am not an audiophile, so I don't know enough about exactly what is what.

The first one I listed above is a large single connector.

The next two are halves of what makes up a similar looking connector. Two pieces to make one connection.

The third is for the remote cassette player. I added not only to confuse you , but in case someone else is wondering.

I would say if you connector is one large piece, use the first listed. If it has two halves the top is the next listed and the second is the bottom half.

Fortunately with a multimeter and the list posted above you should be able to figure things out. The connectors, while different, use the same color coded wires from what I see. Orange wire should have battery voltage...Gray wire with voltage when lamps are on is the dimmer light wire...etc.

Process of elimination and deduction my dear Sherlock. Good Luck.

ur a life saver henryj thanx man.... my stock cd player broke this mornin and i cant go out n not listen anything on my drives to work..... i appreciate more than you know....

If you want to fix the stock CD player, stop by the salvage yard and grab one that works. Just swap the CD player part of it and you will not have to unlock the radio. I have made the swap on a couple. The newest being a 2004 fullsize.

The dealer is doing a refurb exchange on them too. $75-$150 will buy a new unit. It seems that there is a small plastic part that breaks. The players with problems fail to eject the disc. They probably saved $0.10 having that piece made in China.
The new piece is being made in the USA and seems to be holding up better, or so I am told.

My CD changer quit once and dealership replaced it under extended warranty for something like $400. A CC member here told me to pull the fuses for 10 minutes. Well, I was leary of that advise because the battery had been unhooked previously and it still didn't work. I had the same thing happen again and I only located one fuse but, it worked after being pulled for 10 minutes.

HenryJ, thats my problem.... the cd player kept sayin Check cd and wouldnt eject.... but today when i unhooked the connector and reconnected it.... it worked fine??? it puzzled me for a while but hey, i took the aftermarket cd player back and got my 230$ back =)

If you're installing an aftermarket CD/Stereo...isn't there an aftermarket plugin adapter that enables you to retain the stock wiring so you can simply plug in the new unit?

That's how it was on my '96.

Eventually, I'm going to want to install an aftermarket deck in my new 03 truck so I can have MP3 so I'll need to know soon myself.
