I bought the worlds worst shed of an XR2i as a runaround, but I just wanted to know, speakers are easy but its the power that I can't quite work out.

1x thick brown wire
1x thin brown wire
1x thin red wire
1x thin yellow wire

I know i will need an illumination, live, switched live and earth, but which is what? Canne be arsed to borrow/buy a multimeter, so if you can tell me i'd be more than pleased

car is awful by the way, rust on every panel! goes ok though

 

Brown is earth.
THIN red/yellow, one is ignition switched live, the other is permanent live for the radio memory, sorry can't remember which is which, so just probe them both till you see which is which.

hmm, i'll give it a go, but theres the other wire as well ?

 

Thick brown is earth/chassis neg
Red is permanant battery live
Yellow is position 2 on the key switch/accesory live
Hope this helps.
