MK2 Premium Stereo Problems!

[immorality]

Why do people always butcher the wiring when installing a new head unit? This fool just cut the connector at the back of the OEM deck and ran a bunch of wire down to the DS amplifier and cut up the harness there too. In the end all that was accomplished was a working deck, but the subs don't work, and I suspect that is also why my antenna doesn't work. *end rant*

same problem for me, gah i need to source the plug.....

i had a horrible prolem like that in the old celica. someone did crap like that ...dont they realize there are already wires running to the sub and amp? lol

my MK2 came with no stereo, no deck, no working wires, no working speakers and a mess of cables behind every panel...
we feel your pain.

I have the plug and the wirring diagram to tell you what wire does what from the head unit, Its from my 91 gt it mite help you.

THanks, but the '94 uses a 15 pin plug instead of the early 14 pin.

Yep Russ, shit happens, that is why when I installed a new Sony head unit in my Mk II I took the time to research how to avoid this, went to the Scosche webpage and found out that they have a conncector that plugs into your radio harness and you have all the cables to connect to your new head without having to cut any wire. I was fortunate to do that cuz at the end I ended up going back the the OEM Toyota premium head and got a cable to plug my Ipod into the CD box connector and the problem was solved.

I wish it was that easy, but I'm still pulling out my hair trying to reconnect cut wires!

[Oteck]

you should learn from me and use non-insulated butts and using shrink tubes. soldering in cars is just crazy

[immorality]

Soldering is pretty easy, and I've got loads of shrinkwrap.

[Oteck]

what are you doing for the plug, mine missing grrr where the heck can i get this bit

[immorality]

I was lucky enough to have the plug, but unlucky because all the wires were cut so close to it

I've had to depin the connector and put everything back together. I thought I was done, but I may have mis-pinned something, because my switched power is on all the time

can i get that from you (just the diagram will do)?
i have the same problem, but that should help me loads for fixing my 91T...?

he has a 94, so the wiring and the plugs are different
