Well i finally had enough money to get a new cd player, i worked on it all night trying to get it to work but i noticed that someone had spliced the stereo wiring harness and wired it back together so i investigated further and matched all the wires up right, and taped back together then finally got a wiring harness connector to connect to it for my cd player and plugged it all up now my cd player runs fine but no sound what so ever??? i have checked everything even fuses bc thats why my cd player didn't work the first try but it was a fuse then it cut on now i have no sound at all can someone please help me!!!!!

IS yours a GT or GT-S. There is 2 different harnesses. The GT has 2 and the GT-S has one. The GT-S as the factory amp wired in the smae plug so what has happend is without the right adapter you will not get any sound.

mines a gts and the connector plug that plugs into the stock stereo wiring harness is made by metra its called a toyota amplifier intergration harness it seems right bc all the wires matched up according to the chart but idk i need help lol

[trdmsprts27]

Ok so did it come with RCA wires as well? Also if the last owner chopped the plug its most likely he cut the factory amp wire as well. The amp is located on the passenger side behind the glovebox. You have to remove the box to get to the amp. Also the amp wireing is integrated into the plug if he cut it completly off the amp wireing may be in the center console area. itll be easier if you remove the center console to look for it.. I had the same issue. The last owner chopped the plug off and i had to get another one from a junked car and solder the wires all back togethor to get it to work. PITA but it works.

yes it does actually i can take pics if you need me to maybe it would be easier for you to understand?

[trdmsprts27]

That would help. Did you check the speakers to see if he disconected them to run them off a different amp?

[icepik]

yup i got the pics give me just a minute to post them up

[icepik]

heres the best i could get

stock stereo wiring harness:


metra connector with RCA jacks:


the whole thing together but no sound:

[icepik]

sry for such big size my bad ill try to fix it

[trdmsprts27]

Ok for starters how did you put the wires back togethor?

In your first pic there is a wire bundle kinda in the midle that has blue green yellow and so on....those are the amp wires which gives the sound out the speakers. Now for your deck does it have pre-amp outlets or no? It needs to have 2 pre-amp outlets or you need to go to your local stereo shop and get 2 speaker wire to RCA converters. There about $15 a piece.

[trdmsprts27]

pic size is fine lol bigger the better

[icepik]

the cd player has RCA on the back of it for the speakers that match the green white grey and black RCA jacks on the harness according to the chart the metra harness came with but still no sound???

[trdmsprts27]

Next thing to do is see if the amp is turning on. When you turn the deck on youll need to test the power going to the amp. I believe its the red wire in the bundle i was refering to earlier. If your getting power to the amp youll need to see if you stilll have wires going to the speakers.

[trdmsprts27]

I just went to make sure of this but the red wire is the amp turn on wire. Another thing you can do is remove the passenger side kick panel and then look up. Right above the kick panel is the amp. The last guy may have pulled the plugs out. Why he would i dont know. But if your getting power to the red wire from the harness after you got it all back togethor that would be the next thing to check.

[icepik]

ok and im gonna check the stereo harness and make sure theres no wires mis matched or something

[trdmsprts27]

if you know how to solder and heat shrink tube that would be the ideal way to have a for sure connection.

[icepik]

yeah the RCA jacks arnt helpin but i think i can splice them and just connect them to the speaker wire on the cd player and it work ????

[trdmsprts27]

No it wont i tried that when i made my own harness. Its a PITA to do.

[trdmsprts27]

So the deck powers on but you get no sound? Not even a static sound?

[trdmsprts27]

oh schitt hold on a sec let me think i may know why your not getting sound

[icepik]

ok man

[icepik]

if you can man see if you can get me a diagram of wire to wire lol maybe im just not understandin it right idk but id like to find out who spliced the dam thing in the first place....

[trdmsprts27]

Ok try this. Take the amp turn on wire (red) and tie it to the deck amp turn on wire i think itll be blue and see if that works. Instead of going through the plug tie it directly togethor. From the pics you took it looks like its all wired correcly. hard to tell though with the electrical tape lol

[icepik]

ok well it worked out great but one problem it turned played music and didnt have a chance to tape the wires up and they hit another wire..... so now the cd player wont cut on and i checked the fuse again, i think i just screwed myself im a retard but the help is needed......

[trdmsprts27]

check your radio fuse and also the fuse in the car. You more or less blew your fuse. So if you got it to work that way just wire those 2 wires togethor put the fuse back in and you should be good to go. Its weird that it wouldnt work through the harness

[icepik]

yeah i checked every fuse there all fine could it be possible the fuse is blown without looking like it???? ill replace it with a brand new one btw dude the help very much appreciated espeacially since im a retard and I eat my own feces lol

[trdmsprts27]

no prob man. Also check your 2 multitap fuses. i think the radio goes through those as well. there is 4 of them 2 orange and 2 dark red ones. I believe itll be one of the dark red ones.

[icepik]

are they located in the same place?

[trdmsprts27]

yea there all in the panel on the passenger side below th radio

[icepik]

ok well i think the cd player was fried so i took it back to wal mart and exchanged it now im working on the dash kit install thanks a lot man you helped out so much....
