Moving on to radio issues now

[Bostedquest]

well since I am waiting for a coil to come in tomarrow(which I am praying solves my no start issue), I started putting the interior back togeather.

So I am installing my new head unit, and I see another F-up by the previous owner... completely cut out the stock radio plug, and the antennea feed wire

This would normally not be a big deal at all, but now I cannot find a 12V source at all in that bundle of wires. I found two that have a 2.6V in on, and ACC position (blue - red/black)... but none have a passive V source for memory with the key out.

I really do not want to rig it by running a lone wire w/fuse to the battery.
Now, the radio comes on, radio only. I try to play a CD and it flicks what seems like a power on/off cycle every few seconds. So I can only imagine it is not getting nearly enough power. And yes I did tap a black/yellow for ground.

The speaker wires I have sorted out, really only needed to find the front dash ones anyway because I am putting in 6X9's and 2 12's power by an amp.

I guess I could run the wire to the back of the fuse block... but I would rather find it where it is supposed to be.
I have spent half my time on this car finding/fixing previous owners screw ups and hack jobs...

I don't know it the '90s have exactly yhe same wire colors but you can use this to start and verify them yourself.

The constant +12v for backup should be a Red w/Black stripe wire.
The switched +12v should be a Blue wire.
The illumination (if your radio wants one that goes to 12v when the lights are on) should be a Green w/White stripe.
The dimmer (if you radio uses bulbs or actually has variable dimming) is a Black w/Yellow wire. Most HU's won't use this.

There is no ground in the harness, you have to run your own.

I don't see the antenna power in the manual CD diagram. I'll have to check the paper version from Mitsubishi. I know it was in there when I did my HU.

Front Right + White w/Red stripe
Front Right - Black with Red stripe
Front Left + White w/Blue stripe
Front Left - Black with Blue stripe
Rear Right + Yellow w/Red stripe
Rear Right - Gray w/Red stripe
Rear Left + Yellow w/Blue stripe
Rear Left - Gray w/Blue stripe
