1994 Celica GTS CD Deck Wiring help........ Options

[hawkoner]

OK so i bought a 1994 Celica GTS 5spd and am replacing the aftermarket cd deck, there was a crappy sony one in there that wasnt wired properly so i took it out. I have a JVC USB Bluetooth deck to install. The car has no harness, i have to hard wire it. There are duplicate colored wires coming from the factory dash which is making the install difficult. I already checked out installdr but it doesnt help. Anyone have input on my situation?

Try this, turn the car to Acc, then use a test light or multimeter to see if there's power coming in from the red and yellow wires.

If there's power,there's something wrong with the stereo.
If there's no power, the amp is fried.

I checked the red and it lights up the test light, the yellow doesnt.

I like to do it this way
1- Unhook the previous setup completely and start over
take a testing lamp(the one that cannot fry anything) and touch the toyota wiring(key is off), one will have power that is the memory or yellow on the stereo.
2- Turn key on now you will have an additional power that is the stereos red line.
3-You will have to bypass oem amp it is by the drivers right foot as you cannot pass through it. You will have to cut the wires to the speakers down there and extend the headunits speaker wires to reach. If you already have an amp the speakers should be connected stil.
