Car Stereos: INSTALLING RADIO WITHOUT HARNESS, amp fuse, fuse box

Question
I NEED TO KNOW WHAT COLOR IS MY INGITION WIRE FOR MY 2001 BRAVADA

Answer
Hi,

The accessory power wire in the factory radio harness should be dark green.  There will be more than one green wire, so you'll need to use a voltage meter or test light to find the right one.  Look for the wire that shows 12 volts with the key in the "ACC" position, and no voltage with the key off.  (Your Bravada is equipped with a retained accessory power feature, so make sure your driver's door is open when you're testing the wires--otherwise there will still be voltage on the wire after you turn off the key, until you open the door).

If you can't find a wire that tests properly, check the 10-amp fuse labeled "RDO IGN" in the fuse box on the end of the dash.

Hope this helps!
