BuickMan Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 I got the wire harness for my car but I notice there is a 5 pin plug that is also attached to the old Delco radio. Anybody know what this plug is for? Its a 5 pin plug but there are only 3 wires coming from it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegp Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Look at my post here: http://www.w-body.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=31082 While not specifically for a Cutlass, you can probably figure it out by looking at the wire colors.

BuickMan Posted August 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 so does this mean the 5 pin plug goes to a factory amp thats located somewhere behind the dash? If so I guess I dont have to worry about it and just connect the harness to the new receiver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so I guess I dont have to worry about it and just connect the harness to the new receiver No. None of the wires I listed there are labeled as going to an add-on amp. What colors are the wires from the 5-pin connector? Unfortunately, I don't have the Cutlass wiring diagrams, but I'm thinking the wire colors should be about the same.

Brian P Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 it's probably for the optional steering wheel controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuickMan Posted August 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 The 5 pin plug wire colors: 1 black 2 green 3 empty 4 light brown 5 empty Its plugged in the old Delco radio on the lower right side below the wire harness I dont have any controls on the steering wheel for the radio. Anybody know what this plug is for? Even though this is my first car radio install I'm learning a lot about wiring and installation I never knew before. I will be a Pro in no time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
