Ok people...

One that baffles a numb nut like me.. also asked a few freinds they are not sure on the matter either so hopefully someone here will be able to show us what they know on something thats most likely a simple explanation..

Wanting to fit my sony cd player to my MK3 cabby, ive got the blue wire and the black wire.. ususal stuff also the brown wire and red wire.. now the puzzling bit for me is ive got a yellow and red and yellow and brown wire taped together with red tape. Why is this?

Would someone kindly tell me which wires I should and shild not join to what. I normally do these myself but with these 2 wires taped together its put me off.

I can supply photos of nessicary but I suppose they will only tell you what ive just told you? Many Thanks for your time. James

 

The two joined together are for the accessory feed and the permanent feed.
The permanent feed must be just that live all the time, even in start position, this keeps the memory, radio stations etc, the accessory feed works in a ford on position 1 and 2 off the igntion switch std radio supply.
I asked me mates place who do repairs on all these things, and he said, yellow is permanent live, red is ignition live, brown is mute wire.
