2/92 d15b7 Honda civic (ex or lx can't tell because marking is gone) 4 door
Ok so I have a 4 door civic borne in 2/92. Bought it from my sister and got parts at the salvage yard. One was the wire harness for the radio because it was cut out. The wires I have are as follows
Yellow with red stripe. Only hot when car is on
White with blue stripe. Hot all the time
Black with gray dots. Ground.
blue and green. LF+
gray and black. LF-
Red and green. RF+
brown and black. RF-
blue and yellow. LR+
gray and white. LR-
red and yellow. RR+/ but that is hot only when car is on?
brown and white. RR-
SO the only car I have in my car that is not on any schematics is a red wire with black stripe.
when I Google 92 civic now colors match.
When I Google 91 civic all colors are there but the red/black, and the yellow/red is a acc wire not a speaker wire.
Ok so on the wire harness that I pulled from the salvage yard off of a 95 Honda Civic are as follows.
A cluster of 6 ports, 3 on top 3 on bottom a cluster of 4 ports, 2 on top but good spacing between them, 2 on bottom close together but have bigger eiers then the rest. Then a cluster of 4 ports, 2 on top 2 on bottom.
ok so for the 6 ports are as follows
Top3
Green with white strip
green with red stripe
Red with gray dots
Bottom 3
Black with gray dots
Blue with red stripe
Red with black stripe
the 4 ports
top 2
Black with yellow stripe
Blue with gray dots
Bottom 2
Blue with black stripe(larger wire)
Black solid(large wire)
The 4 ports on the end
Top 2
Empty
Blue with white strip
Bottom 2
Empty
Blue with yellow stripe
This is all one piece by the way.
My goal is to use the wire harnes I bought, so I need the correct cymatics with the proper placement for my 92. Can this be done? Or am I going about this the wrong way?. Need help.
Re: 2/92 d15b7 Honda civic (ex or lx can't tell because marking is gone) 4 door
assuming that's the original engine, that car is a dx/lx. 1992 started a different generation of civic (5th gen, 92-95), so 91 would may have a slightly different wiring scheme (though, dash wiring kits for the civic, specifically the metra 70-1720 harness, is for 86-98 civics).
Upon further inspection and google searching, I'm not 100% convinced that's a plug for a radio. It actually looks like the plug that comes from the HVAC controls into the dash wiring harness. Check out this picture:
Looks like the male plug you have would fit perfectly into the female plug in my picture. I took that picture from an ebay auction for a 92-95 CIVIC HVAC controls wiring harness (source: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1992-1995-O...CModel%3ACivic).
Metra does make a wiring harness that plugs into the factory radio, specifically designed to replace OEM harnesses that have been cut off or otherwise damaged. Part number is 71-1720, $8.51 shipped on Amazon, assuming you have amazon prime.

Yep your spot on.my sister is the one who cut it out. S.o.b. I told her to let me do it.
Well thanks that really helps a lot. Thank you for all the good info.
So that harnes your talking about, will it all be matching color to color? Or will I need to look at where each wire goes. I do have a map where each wire goes.

Haven't wired up a stereo in a long while (much less anything older than a 2002 civic), so I did some research to find Honda radio wiring colors and the colors corresponding to the metra harness and made a thing in photoshop. I'm sure if it's wrong, someone will chime in. Also, I have no idea what that lights on signal (red/blk) is for, and it's not present on the metra harness.

Cool that helps out so much. But I don't have a solid red wire for the dim and illume, could that be the red wire with the black stripe?
P.S.
After you posted that with your wire schematics, turns out your solid red wire is my red with black stripes.
My dash lights don't come on So I took a test light to it. Headlights off no power to the red with the black stripe wire. Turn headlights on and boom its a hot wire.
So now my question is, do I have to have my deck in to have my dash lights come on, or when I get my wire harness wired in, will my dash lights come on without the deck plugged in?

Reason: Found what the red with the black stripe does.

It (your red/blk) could be the radio illumination circuit as opposed to the diagram I found stating orange was that circuit. If it's hot when the headlights are on, that should illuminate the radio lighting. That's the only thing that makes any sense to me
edit: this site explicitly lists red/blk as radio illumination, and an n/a for their dimmer circuit, so yeah, honda red/blk to metra orange should do it.
