Delco Radio Power Pins
I have removed the radio from my 1995 Olds Cutlass to work on the CD player
and have the complete pinout. I tried just connecting 12v and ground and it would not power up. What other pins to I need to supply power to? Security has not been set on this radio. Since the problem is with the intake mechanism on the CD player, I do not need to connect the speakers. Thank you, Dale |

There is another wire, hot all the time for the clock and station memory. In
the past this wire was orange and the radio would not work unless it is powered. I would suspect this here, if you have a pinout you should be putting power to two connectors, not just one. Good luck, as far as I'm concerned when I'm ready for a CD in the car I'll get one of those fake cassettes and a portable. Then when it breaks my dashboard is safe, and for $20 I can throw the offending unit out the window (unless a cop is watching) and just buy a new one. Over the years I've learned, less intergration and more seperation of components. Look how people get ripped off with TV/VCR combos ! And they never know. Just as much price, less components (more profit), less functionality (can't record one and watch the other channel) and to top it off to the manu****turer's delight is the functional interdependence, and being built into a single cabinet helps too ! Anyway. Be careful in there, those things are delicate (flimsy), precision (finicky) and high tech (they shut down before you can get much info on what's going on). Actually if I'm not mistaken these things should accept a disk and be able to eject it with the key off. I might be mistaken. JURB |
