    '84 Ltd radio wiring?

    Ok so I'm working on my 84 Ltd because the radio doesn't have power to the right side of the car and the speakers are crap anyways.

    This is a perfect time to just add a new head unit and some new speakers.

    I can't find a factory radio adapter in any of my local stores and don't feel like waiting for 2 weeks for one to come in the mail.

    What's the Oem radio wiring so I can just splice in my new radio quickly.


    I've read on here that the best thing to do since the factory used a common ground is to just run all new wiring. Which I was planning on doing anyways so that's fine.

    Run all new speaker wires, then take a multimeter and probe the harness to find the switched 12 volt and (if there is one) a constant 12v. They do make common ground adapters but running wires in a box Panther isn't that bad and will produce much​ better results.

      Thanks, it was really easy to run the wires. Tons of room under the dash and the side pieces were all just regular screws lol. Now I just have to hook up the speakers woo
