Stereo/wiring help? (7 Viewers)

[Rob Faucett]

I have these three (left most) wires coming into the stereo area. I assume they are pos, neg and ground? And that’s exactly the question.

Can you guys help?

1) these are part of the original 1987 FJ60 wiring harness.

2) at some point the stereo worked.

3) I did not put the “white” cap on so that wire is not requisite for stereo to operate.

4). They are not speaker wires.

5). MOST IMPT - Assume that I know Jack s*** about what I’m doing. Very safe assumption.

Thanks in advance.

The new stereo unit only needs 12v+ and 12v- (ground).
Connect a voltmeter to those mystery wires and see what you've got.

AH HA! So it would make sense if only one of those wires was used and a ground was pulled elsewhere!? That’s make sense to me.

Would have been smart to get out the voltmeter about two hours ago
