Anyone have trouble finding correct radio wiring harness?

[LINY4Runner]

I'm having trouble finding the correct wiring harness for my radio. I purchaced two so far and they're both wrong. The first one I got had two plugs, but my truck only has one connector. The second harness I got is one plug with RCA's on the radio side for the speakers, It fits the connector in the truck, but the wires don't match up with the wire locations in the truck. I know for sure someone in here has an aftermarket radio in their truck. Anybody know part numbers or anything?

The one with two plugs is the correct one! You just have to unplug the two wires from your AMP! The single wire you say you have is the single wire coming out of your AMP. Under your amp you have two wires that plug in that will fit into the adapter you bought with two plugs! I made this same mistake when I first installed my aftermarket deck. I'll see if I can't find the writeup i used that shows how.

ok, thanks I'll look into that!

If your deck has front and rearRCA outputs then you can use the harness you got with RCAs in it. Otherwise there is a small silver box behind your old radio in the dash that has 2 plugs on the bottom of it which are standard toyota plugs. You just unplug them and use the standard toyota harness to wire in.

Not really sure what you're trying to say. But it looks like you took a knife and cut the wires in random spots. Put the harness back in by connecting the matching wires, and then buy a harness to do to job correctly. Also, it seems that this is not out of a 3rd Gen 4Runner.

His is an 89 but I agree 100% with your recommendation.

x2 Reconnect the harness you cut, buy the correct harness for your radio/vehicle. If you don't know which harness to purchase you can call Crutchfield.

There's more to your harness than just those wires. Here's a diagram of what it should look like stock. Going off of this diagram you should be able to splice in your new harness.

I only feel one plug under there. I do feel a split wire but… It’s been one surprise after another. Seems like the only way to get out the plug(s) are to remove the crummy little amp.I called it crummy because I’ve had better radios I’ve gotten in junkyards with found speakers ! It’s starting to get dark here so I will leave that surprise for tomorrow. I really hope there are two plugs under there. I’ve already spliced together my new pioneer wiring harness with the double plug Toyota harness I bought on eBay. I would really like it if I could just put it on And cancel my orders for the plug with the RCA’s attached.

There are the plugs are under Amp for the speakers.

Fingers often lie and so do eyes so I like to use both of them together. Thanks for answering, I did discover those two plugs underneath the crappy amp. I can’t believe how bad that radio sounded, my new unit is a dream comparatively! Next is some new speakers.
