To trace down where you lost the wire, what you can do is buy one of those volt-ometers that are battery powered, and send current along the wires. That will result in a static sound when you have the correct wire for each speaker... i.e. when you locate the + & - of one speaker, static will come out of it. This can narrow down which speaker is missing it's wire. Other options - run all new wire, pay someone to run all new wire for you..... --- John-Reed Maffeo <rlpa80@EMAIL.SPS.MOT.COM> wrote: > the po had removed the radio from my '86 Syncro and > left a > nest of taped up wires.
