Hey everyone,

Long time reader, first time posting.
im getting ready to install a new head unit into my lancer but needed to know about a few of the wires.

On the Harness itself I have an:

Orange wire(Illumination)
Orange wire with a black stripe (Negitive dimmer)
Blue wire (Power Antenna)

On the wires to the HU I have:

Orange Wire with a white stripe labled ILL (Illumination?) Im guess the two illumination wires go together but what do I do with Negitive dimmer wire?
And where would the blue wire connect too? on the HU all there is is a blue wire with a white strip which connects to the remote wire.

Any Help would be great.

 

If I remember right the two oranges can just wire up by themselves. The blue wire from the harness is what you tap for your remote power for your amp.

 

Okay I got my deck in and it works fine along with the 4 main speakers but my Amp isnt getting power ... When I bought my RCA's they came with a small wire inbetween them and the guy said to use that as the remote.. so I connected that wire to the one labled remote on the deck and the other end to the remote on the amp. and I taped off the solid blue one from the harness itself...

Could that be the problem why the amps not getting power?

Ghostrider, You say to tap the blue wire. should I take it back out and connect it to the remote instead of the RCA wire or tie it in with both?

 

Woohoo! my systems installed and speakers are working. im quite happy now.

 

Glad you got it figured out!

 

Hi there. I know this is from an old thread, but I am in a similar scenario as you. Basically its the same thing, on the stock harness there is a solid blue wire, on the aftermarket there is a blue with white stripe wire labeled "system remote control". If this blue/white wire gets connected to the amp, what do I do with the solid blue wire from the stock harness?
