Help...I'm trying to hook up a new head unit deck to replace my stock 1995 cassette deck!

I don't know what the middle four wires do should do (but I see where it's connected to on the wiring diagram):

blue wire - ignition wire???
black wire with yellow stripe - meter and guages wire
green wire with white stripe - taillight wire
red wire - ????????????


Can someone lend me some knowledge? :)

Out of these four wires I need to know which wires go to my deck as: ignition wire, battery wire, and dimmer control wire...

OH, I'm hooking up a kenwood KRC-605.

thanks!

Did you cut off the stock radio plug? It would be helllaaa easier to just get the plug adapter and just match up wire colors...cake :)

Go to any stereo place and ask for the radio harness for mitsu. Its plug and play.

the blue is your remote, for a power antenna, amp, or other such item. not sure about the green/white or the black/yellow. and the red wire is your switched one, that goes to your accessory's on your ignition or fuse block.

typically, the universal hook up is:

red: switched
black: ground
yellow: constant 12v
blue: remote
orange: dimmer

i can tell ya better, if ya tell me what you do know for sure (power wise, and speaker wise)

I know that the blue wire is a pretty think wire and from the wiring diagram it shows it comes from the ignition.

I also know that black wire with yellow stripe goes to the meter and guages.

And the green wire with white stripe turns on the parking/taillights...

in that case, the blue is your switched, from the ignition. the black/yellow is your dimmer, and the green/white is your back light. go straight to the battery with the red, it seems to be the constant. *i am in no way responsable for exploding sterios* check and make sure somebody else agrees with this
