I just picked up a Kenwood receiver for my 2003 Explorer. The Explorer doesn't have any extras in it...no subwoofer, no DVD system...just the factory tape deck and 4 speakers.
On the new stereo's wiring harness, I've got 2 wires for each speaker, the red ignition wire, the black ground, and the yellow battery wire.
On the vehicle harness/adapter that was provided (it's a Metra harness), it has all the same wires plus an orange illumination wire. But the stereo harness does not have an orange wire.
Do I even hook up the orange illumination wire to anything? If so, which one, red?
Thanks in advance!
