I knew this day would come...post #1 of #3 across the FABO forum...

Hmmm...Let me say how much I dread wiring...The radio has four wires leading into it...two form a T connector both orange...A red and orange lead to these from the fuse panel...

Two other wires leading into the radio are both green with stand along female connectors on each one...

I think your right that the ground was through the radio body to the dash...

Unfortunately, I don't have the expertise to figure out what to cut and splice...Its probably the heat but, I'm a little discouraged... I was thinking with only four inputs even I could handle it...damn...
