Re: Radio install question



If you don't have a power antenna, there should be an open terminal
on the BATT end (end with brown wire connected) of the door lock
circuit breaker. If you do have a power antenna, there will be a
small gauge red wire with a white plastic covered spade connector
on this terminal. Go ahead & move this wire to the AUX end of the
breaker since it only draws a small amount of current when the
antenna moves & it won't really matter which side of the breaker
it's on. Then you can use a spade terminal to connect your power
wire to the free terminal.

I also replaced my front speakers. Fun fun if you like laying upside
down for an hour straight. I did not remove my binnacle. I think
you do have to pull the flexible tube supplying air to the door vents
though.
