Name these wires
« on: June 04, 2014 - 01:46:41 PM »
1970 Challenger R/T

Had an aftermarket radio from 1987 in there and I'm in the process of taking it out and installing the reproduction radio from Year One.

I came across these two heavier gauge wires, both are green but one is a bit darker. They go into these ..





Next are these two... One is red and the other is orange. Both just hanging there bare. They go into a plug and out into 4 wires ...

The red and orange wires should be "Power" to your radio.  Both my 73 Challenger and 68 Dart have the radio powered with the red and orange wires.  I think red is power to radio and orange is power to the radio light.

Don't have the wiring diagrams handy but could be speaker fader wires being both green

That's correct.
