OhioXC Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 hi i have a 1998 v70 xc. i installed a aftermarket radio without a jumper harness aka lots of cut wires. It works fine when my speedometer doesnt work. but when its working the radio will shut off as soon as i start moving and will turn back on when i get to a complete stop. Have you ever heard anything like this happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappo Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Listening to the radio while the car is moving is a safety hazzard. Sounds to me like you have a power wire wrong in the harness. Does the radio shut off completely like the key is pulled from the ignition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i loose all power to the radio. i thought i figured out all the wires. Green/brown was constant 12v and yellow/black was switch 12v. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keep Calm Chive On Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 yea haha i tried fixin that on a ladies S70 & it was horrible horrible. I ended up finding a metra harness brand new in the glovebox at the JY & i forgot to cut the factory harness out. The harness in her car was cut out so i had nothing to go by except the amount of times i was electrocuted haha. after i got the feeling back in my hand I thought i had it wrong In bay13 there is a diagram explaining each wires purpose & it helped but i still didnt know how to hook it up only because there are some that arent used (which is why you leave the stock clips & tap into the needed wires). All in all i think if i feel the need to fix her shit ill just cut out a factory harness, rewire it & use the metra harness i found seeing as shes putting in an aftermarket sweet baller xplod haha the pink wire is for the lights in your car & idk if that has anything to do with the speedo or not though. her car was the exact same way but like i said i didnt cut everything cause i knew better. someone else did & i was playing damage control. She still doesnt have a stereo but thats because it turned into my fault & i told her to fuck her self because i was trying to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
