Audio & Other Aftermarket Electronics / Aux input?
Hey,
has anyone added an auxillary input to our cars? If so, how difficult is it? I would use the cassette -> aux cord thing, but my cassette player is stuck in "chipmunk" mode where it plays everything fast forwarded lol
my car has premium sound, but no EQ slidey thing

Electrical Tech / Anyone tried these???

Has anyone heard anything about these? Good? Bad? Indifferent? Theyre probably better than the sealed beam halogens that our cars have.

Do you now have an alternator warning light?

Is the equipped with one? I dont think so, I have a full digital cluster, so the voltage gauge just reads low and flashes a battery symbol at me lol.

Well, heres the culprit. The gray/yellow stripe wire was free to back out of the connector going into the cluster. Not surprised, the plastic that holds them in place is 30 years old. A couple drops of super glue, and fixed! 14.5 volts with engine on.

Thanks softtouch, for all your insight. you got me started down the right path. And thanks everyone else! glad to know there are people willing to offer advice!

If you appreciate the help. you are welcome.
If you are just being a snarky ass hole, go shag yourself.

Since you don't have or won't share any information about cluster you have in the car, there is no way anybody can buttstuffyze what's going on.
The green wire may be hooked to something that under some conditions puts a voltage on the wire.

Not being snarky, I promise. And so I need to join the green/red stripe wire to the gray one ON the Dash harness? On those big plugs that go into the back?

Is the alternator wired-up as shown in the pic?
With the engine off do you have battery voltage on the alternator B+ output terminal.
If yes, Turn the key on and don't start the engine. Is the alt/Batt warning light on?
If yes, start the engine, does the warning light go off?

Let us know what you see.


Is the yellow wire supposed to go to the B+ terminal? Cuz I connected yellow to yellow on my existing alt wiring. So thats where mine is different. Good? Bad?
