'99 Tahoe - New Head Unit = No Sound From Rear Door Spkrs

Folks, Here is my situation:

- Have a '99 Tahoe w/ six speaker factory setup.

- Pulled factory unit (w/ slave CD) to install Pioneer DEH-P4500MP head unit.

- Front door & rear *overhead* speakers work fine.

- Rear *door* speakers are dead.

## I've read about the blue factory antennae wire fix, but there is NO blue wire hanging around the stereo box of the dash. ## I even cut the blue wire going to the slave CD harness and attached it to my aftermarket wiring harness (for Pioneer head). That didn't help.

- Used GM color code chart to ID front and "rear" (don't know which "rear"

- doors or overhead) speaker wire in Tahoe's harness.

- Only four speakers on GM color code chart, so this didn't really help at all.

- There are two wires on the Tahoe-side harness that do not match up to the head unit's harness -- dark green/black & dark green. IOW, these wires are on the Tahoe-side harness, but there are no wires connecting on the aftermarket harness used to connect the Pioneer head.

Lastly, need a wiring diagram or **SPECIFIC** advice on making the rear door speakers work without running new wire. I'm a computer whiz, but a auto mech noob. :-) Please help!

Your new radio probably came with a new harness connector kit. When you connect it to the wires from the new radio, you will need to " cross connect " by changing color, power antenna from new radio to the pin out to the antenna from the old receiver unit. Should be ID'd on old receiver box . Went through this previously ('93 Burb). Door speakers are powered from CTSY fuse via relay , in my case that is! Good luck Respectfully submitted Rolf
