So I got this truck from my grandfather and he had an eq. installed for some reason and it made a real loud popping noise every time you turned the stereo off or on so I said hey, let's take that SH## out! Well the idiot that installed it at the shop cut the harness all the way back and now I got nothing. I was able to fix the bigger harness, and the stereo comes on, and works properly, but no sound comes out. Can someone post a diagram or a picture of what color wires go where so I can run all new wires and put the interior back in so the wife will stop her bitchin?

 

Would help to know what year ur pickup is

 

93, This is what I have. I was able to fix the one, and the other is still like I found it.

 

You're almost their

If everything works but the speakers, Then you're just looking for the speaker wires. Factory colors for the speakers are grey w/ a strip of light purple and the other is grey w/ a strip of light green (L or R don't remember) I'm sure you'll figure it out. Good luck!

 

Probly a little late but here ya go...


blue/yellow - constant
grey - switched
brown - ground
green - dimmer

left front + pink
- purple

right front + teal
- blue

left rear + black
- yellow

right rear + red
- white

 

Well the upper picture is the harness that I fixed, I got that one working fine, the lower one however.... That's the one I am screwed on. I will try to get some better pics showing the colors today.

 

should all be here

Well I think I am through with it, I think I might just pull all the stock wires and redo it all from scratch and just install an aftermarket stereo.

 

that secondary harness is just rear speakers. If your front speakers don't work make sure they are plugged in at the speaker and the speaker is good. If you can't salvage the plug you can buy a new one from metra for 10-15 bucks at a stereo shop. the part # from metra is 71-1761

 

Did my color code not work?

 

its 100% correct. I have been a installer for a while now and know a toyota harness of the top of my head. If you had a eq, there is probably a amp. follow that wire that looks like a cut rca or speaker wire hanging inside your dash.

 

Wait, is there supposed to be a stock amp somewhere in this truck that might have been taken out?

 

no, I was talking about on the diagram, yours was fine, lol.

 

Ok, good.

Isn't the factory amp right behind the head unit? Oh wait, some of the 4runner's had the amp on the speakers, didn't they? I wonder if some of the trucks are the same way since they use the same factory speakers.

 

I dont think the stock pickups came with a factory amp.
