When i bought the car the previas owner pointed out to me that if you was to turn on the cd player when car was moving , the spedomiter would read 0. So first thing i did was to remove the cd player to look at the wiering. Hmm found whot i expeced a lot of cut wire should be easy i thought just find the wrong wire and change it. ok sorted found live earth and so i thought untill i hit one of the brown wires agoinst the metal and earthed it just to see the time display to light up. Now im left with whot i have narowed down to speeker wire (well f/n r/n f/o speekers-cant seem to fined r/o) so wondering if anyone could tell me whot all the brow are for and if i can leave them capt off.Its an old pre facelift if that makes a difrence.

Ok sorry about the ne1
and spelling

The plug that would have been on the wireing loom is not there.

Welcome to the forum. 

I do not think that it is fair to anyone, let alone a newbie to have a dig at them in the way that is currently being done when english may not be their 1st language, and there are quite a few dyslexics on this forum also that seem to get along just fine. 


However, and I really do not mean to give any offence in any way, I must confess that I am really struggling to read and comprehend what is being writtten in a clear enough way that I can offer any technical assistance by return.
 

Please accept this offer of a bit of friendly advice:
Slow down a little with your typing, try not to abbreviate anything or use text speak in any way, and read it a couple of times over before hitting the send button.
 

And lets see if we can all give you the help that you are after.

Questions:

What stereo are your trying to fit?

Do you know what stereo was in there?

Are the wires at the back original, or does it look like some extra wires may have been added?

 :-?

there are brown wires for the stalk also go to the radio, if you take out the radio and on the plug should see the brown wire check wot one it is as there are 6 of them.

I wonder if the loom had a speedo pulse feed for a sat nav which has been incorrectly tied to an output from the head unit.

I will try to remember to have a look at the wiring diagrams later and see if I can dig out some colour codes.

What spec of car are we talking about here? (Elite, MV6, CDX, etc?)

Do you know what type of factory fit stereo it had previously?

Its a 2.5 td select.

Including the 3 set of speeker wire ther are 16 wires there. I have got power to the cd player but if you do have wire digram then just what colour is what would be of moste help.

Ther is no fited stering controles on the car but to the limeted knolage i have on thers cars i dont know if one has been removed, although a litle c.s.i work tels me ther wasn`t as there dose not appear to be a aubvas cut out or blank spot fot stems to be conected. Asuming the steering wheel itself hasnt been changed and controles were part of the wheel.


sorry for babling but trying to paint a fuller picture hoping it helps.

[Kevin Wood]

Select had pretty basic spec. so I imagine no possibility of nav or perhaps even steering controls. Preface wiring diagrams are in the Haynes manual so that may be a good source of info, but I will have a look tonight and at least try to find the wiring colour codes.

Apologies for the mess but just trying (and failing, by the look of things  ) to make one useful thread out of the two that were running.

Looking only at the lower ISO block, with earth on the bottom left for orientation, do you have any wires connected on the far right on the upper or lower pins of that block?

As an incorrectly fitted speed pulse wire from a previous nav unit would certainly kill the speedo as you tried to move off

it is useless on the brown wires in there. had to do all by meter.

[Dave DND]

Probably enough Oofer member bashing . .

Can we restrict this thread to offers of help please?

 

[Ddraigcymro]

Ok still no wiser as to what the wires are for. how meny speeker wires are ther would be a help as they wouldnt need caping off I am going to have to replace atleast 2 of them so that can wait for another day. My bigest consern is what els is disconected there and am i drawing power from the right wire or was it a part of the wiering loom to display radio chanel ext.

Just to make it clear if the original plug was there id just buy the addapter and id probably have no problem.

i'd be tempted to get an orginal loom plug from the same spec car from a breaker or scappy, then, just join all the wires together, same colours be nice and easy. Then just use a loom adaptor cable.
