big radio problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[90cb7accord]

i have a 1990 accord LX 4dr and i jus baught a kenwood radio to install but the wiring harness that goes from the car to the radio is from a 1998 accord and i baught the correct harness that goes from the kenwood radio to the car and nothing will happen the radio doesn't even turn on.... and im running out of wire to splice to keep connecting the wires.... what do you think it might be and what can i do to fix it?

That's kind of weird that a CB7 would have a '98 wiring setup. What kind of radio came with the car? I had two CB7s and they both used the correct aftermarket harness that plugged into the factory plug-in. Try taking it to a Honda dealerahip and they should be able to find a correct plug in for that year CB7.

well when i took off the old radio that the car came with the wiring harness that it had looked like it was spliced with another wiring harness to fit a 1998 accord radio application

I had wanted to do that a while back. I wanted a factory CD player from a 1998 Accord, but I found out that would have been a big job, even for me. What kind of radio was it?

[90cb7accord]

it was a regular stock 1998 accord radio w/ CD player and now it's been a missin trying to put it in this kenwood... i have a question though... the harness that the car comes with is it replacable and if it is how do you take it out?

[ProJect]

just splice the wires back how they were and take the harness back and get the one that plugs into the 98 accord harness, that way its just wiring the 98 plug into the kenwood harness and then plug it in and it should work, that way u dont bust your head trying to figure it out

[90cb7accord]

i jus did that today but the radio won't even turn on, itz like if im not getting any power to the radio but i know i am getting power

[90cb7accord]

also can you replace the harness that comes with the car?

[ProJect]

did you check your fuses, the one in the driver kick and the one under the hood, also check your ground

[90cb7accord]

what would the fuses be labeled as and what ground should i check

[ProJect]

the one in the kick says radio and the one under the hood says back-up, also make sure the back wire on hte radio harness is grounded to metalor the wires that is hooked up the black wire since you used and adapter

i got a 90-93 harness for $10 shipped new

i normally dont recomend this but since someone allready hacked your harness i would cut off what they did and wire your kenwood harness in.
you should use a multimeter to verify power.
