Stock Radio Power Source Disconnected?

[mirissagood]

Help! I took out my stock stereo today to see what kind of wire harness it has and when I put it back it, it didn't work So of course I took it back out to see what I screwed up, well everything was plugged in but at some point the other end of the power source became disconnected from the car and now I have nooo idea where it goes! I've spent a couple hours looking for it and can't see or feel it anywhere. Any ideas??? Thanks!

P.S I searched and found another thread with this problem saying to look in the lower right corner but I can't find it anywhere Any additional info would be a huge help, thanks!

so you find the plug to put back into the radio? that plug part came disconnected from the truck? if you scrounge around behind the facia by the gas pedal you might be able to grab it there. There are a few screws to undo and you can pull it pretty far back. fish around under where the storage cubby thing is too.

The plug is hanging out of the back of the radio...I just can't find where the other end goes. I think its the same problem this guy had...

It's driving me nuts. I took out a whole bunch of screwed and junk and made a lot more room in there to look around and still can't find it!

i took a whole bunch of pic when i did mine. lemme look through them and see if something jogs my memory.

That would be so nice of you! Thanks! I miss my radio lol

so looking at this, i'd say the wire went flat and under the front cubby tray. there isn't much extra wire. this shows, just barely, that the power wire comes from below right and under.


good luck!

I must be an idiot or something, I still can't friggin find it. I've gotten everything taken out possible, the little cubby area and everything. Are we SURE this is the power source? Am I trying to plug in something that's not even there??? (these are the questions I keep asking myself with my head under the dash) I mean obviously, because my radio won't work!

So, after looking at your pic I am confused, am I looking for a wire to plug my power source into? I've checked every wire from the glove box to the gas pedals, none are loose for me to plug anything into.

Any other ideas??? I'm switching cars with the boyfriend for a day or two to see if HE can find it, hah.

Just an FYI for anyone else that might have this same issue, i got tired of my car being in pieces, so i put it all back in without plugging what I thought was the power cable in, was driving down the road wishing I had a radio and I hit it...and it came on. So I have no idea what that wire is for but it's not needed!
