I bought a 71 Mercury radio to shorten the shafts to fit my new 69 XR7 and I hope somebody can tell me what this white wire goes to. Also. The part this comes from…Is it a supressor? Thanks.
On my '68 AM-FM stereo, the wires and connectors have similar colors;
Purple: Common ground for both radio and speakers
White: One channel of speakers
Orange: Other channel of speakers
Not sure what someone did years ago with those splices. Is there a second connector with
Yellow w/black stripe: +12
Blue w/red stripe: Dial illumination +12 ?
Thanks. Yea quite the splice job. LOL. The speaker wires are correct . It’s the power source I’m wondering about. I’m thinking that I need a pigtail and splice it to the white wire coming from what looks like a supressor and wire the other to a dial light. I’ve looked everywhere on the internet and don’t see any pictures that look like the back of this unit. It’s hard to see but there is a black wire right next to the white short wire and it goes directly into the case. Go figure…
