I have a 75 2.0, I was trying to put in a new aftermarket stereo, but found the red and yellow power leads were not connected to the fuse panel, or anywhere. Do I need to run these directly to the battery or where should it be patched into the fuse box? thanks

My stereo is wired directly to the battery, but that is because I don't want to have the ignition on to listen to the stereo while working on the car. Not sure which circuit the original wiring should be connected to.
If you connect directly to the battery, install a fuse close to the battery - This will prevent the possibility of a fire should the lead short between the battery and the underdash fuse (lead melts, potentially catches fire). |
