Okay, I have my old wiring harness 1996 accord, and I got my friends pioneer deck..

having some problems...but these are the connections i've made

MY HARNESS: PIONEER WIRING HARNESS

Purple Purple
Purple stripe Purple stripe
Green Green
Green stripe Green stripe
Grey Grey
Grey stripe Grey stripe
Black Black
Black stripe Black stripe

Yellow Yellow (+Battery)
Orange Orange (Illumination)
Red Red (ACC)

Blue
Black


I have the blue and the black remaining on my wiring harness.....but on the pioneer deck i have 3 colours left

Blue (with a plastic cover of some sort)
Black (with a metal ring on it)

and I have a Yellow Stripe that says MUTE on it

not sure what to do...

 

well the blue with the plastic cover is your remote turn on lead... the MUTE is for mutting a in car cell phone, so when it rings it mutes the tunes, and the black with the ring on it is a ground wire...

Blue is remote turn on, Black is ground.

Yellow I dont know.

EDIT: damnit Civic...

 

beat you.

 

okay, so for the blue...i should connect them together with this weird crimp connector thing?

its like the image on teh far right (in the pink).....

i just checked and the blue wire says: SYSTEM REMOTE CONTROL

the black ground wire has a ring on it like the image in the center....should i cut that off and just electrical tape it to the 'black wire' coming from my wiring harness?

 

Do not just tape that wire off. That is the system ground. If you don't connect that wire, the deck will not power up. Hook the ground wire to a bare metal part of the dash chasis or some other metal piece of the car connected to the car chasis.

 

I would stop now and take it to a professional.

 

you read that wrong....instead of me grounding via a screw...can i not just connect it to the black wire coming from my wiring harness because it is labelled as GROUND

so cut teh ring of the pioneer harness and splice the wire then attach it to the GROUND wire from the wire harness for the car

 

k, i got it done

i left the yellow stripe (MUTE) disconnected
i didnt connect the blue one to my blue one because I dont have an amp or power antenna
and the black one with the ring, i cut off the ring and attached it to my ground wire....everything works fine.

Thanks for the help

 

Sorry about the misunderstanding. I didn't quite catch what you said.
