Hello All,

Have a Gen 2.5 (Year 2000) with cold weather package. It came fitted with aftermarket stereo which I want to replace. Who ever did it earlier had cut the factory harness, I'm unable to find ACC, Ignition and Ground wire.... any one knows what color code wire factory uses for these 3 wires? I see the truck has wiring for factory amp. I've tried looking in FSM but the circuit diagrams don't make sense to me, I do not understand it.

Thanks.

I have 1998 gen 2.5 montero with winter package also. I don't know if wires are the same but here is what I got:
Red(acc)- blue wire with orange stripe
Yellow ( ignition)- blue wire with white stripe
Black (ground)- just hooked up to the chassis
Power antenna wire- white with black stripe

Hello thank you it is the same wires as you mentioned. Now gotta figure out how to get the sound to the speakers without stock amp. The stock amp wiring is super confusing.
