(The yellow battery lead provides contin-uous power to maintain a clock or other functions.)If your car has a radio or is pre-wired for one:With the ignition and headlights off, identify the car bat-tery lead by grounding one lead of the test bulb to thechassis and checking the remaining exposed wires fromthe cut radio connector plug.If your car is not wired for an audio unit:Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for the battery,usually marked BAT.Speakers (not supplied)Identify the car speaker leads. There are two leads foreach speaker, usually color coded.A handy way to identify the speaker leads and the speak-er they are connected with is to test the leads using a 1.5V AA battery as follows.Hold one lead against one pole of the battery and strokethe other lead across the other pole. You will hear ascraping sound in a speaker if you are holding a speakerlead.If not, keep testing different lead combinations until youhave located all the speaker leads. When you label them,include the speaker location for each.❏ Connect All LeadsNow that you have identified all the wires in the car,you're ready to begin connecting them to the LCD moni-tor wires.
