'92 Explorer Stereo Wiring Harness Colors

Hello all,

My '92 Explorer's factory wire harness was damaged a few months back when some thieves decided to help themselves to my aftermarket player. I recently purchased a new "into-car" harness and was all ready to splice it with the factory wiring, but since the colors don't match up, I'm having a hard time figuring out what goes where. I've searched all over the 'net but couldn't find any diagrams--the closest I could find was a PDF at InstallDoctor.com which doesn't really go into detail about the colors for Explorers with JBL Premium Sound. I've also tried testing the wires with a DMM but I'm not coming up with any readings for some reason (hopefully this doesn't mean the factory wires are damaged).

I'm sure it's been asked numerous times in the past for other vehicles, but does anyone happen to know the what each color is on the '92 Explorer? This is for the gray harness with the power wires, BTW, not the smaller black JBL speaker harness. Any help is appreciated.

I bought the Gray harness and the colors match up fine...i have yellow on yellow, red on red, black on black, orange on orange, and the blue one is not supposed to be hooked up.

Red = Power (To an accessory terminal in your fuse box)
Black = Ground
Yellow = To a live terminal in your fuse block connecting to the car battery
Orange = To car light control switch..that is what my papers say..i dont know if this helps...now can you help me maybe? I hooked all this stuff up in my 92 explorer (aftermarket player) and it turns on and everything but there is no sound produced!! help?

you don't match up colors to wire in the radio without having harnesses.
