Hi guys.

I'm removing old wiring from the other owners behind the dashboard and I found these two connectors connected to nowhere.
These go to the top of the dashboard, the simple one with a single cable seems to go to an area near the glove box of the dashboard, the other, which has two cables, one black and one blue, goes up towards the central/upper part of the dashboard and I lose track of it. This last one that I mentioned has 3 pins, but it only has two cables, in my opinion at some point they removed a cable.
Thanks in advance.

Regards

 

Straight off, from memory (which could be incorrect), the blue wire looks like the original radio rear speaker wire, the plug/connector w/ three spades looks like the connector/plug to the original radio.

 

I "think" what you have in your hand (x2 connectors) are the original radio/speaker connectors - three spade to radio (I believe feeds front radio speaker + power) - don't hold me to that - single blue wire connector to rear speaker.

The original power/feed wire to the radio was/is yellow. It's not clear in your photo but I may be viewing two different colors of yellow (although I think the point of you picture was to highlight the three spade connector and not the wires themselves). At any rate, where I have circled in red, someone appears to have injected some creative wiring since that connector is certainly not OEM original (and, that "yellow" wire doesn't appear to be the original "yellow" color wire). Finally, it is a yellow wire which is the power/feed wire from the fuse panel to the radio. Again, appears like two different colors of "yellow". You'll have to trace the "yellows" to see what's up.



Not an OEM original wire connector.

Rear Spkr wire (?)

OEM original power/feed wire.

 

Post 9 of this thread shows pics of me connecting up new front speaker to black and blue wires.

The other seasoned folks are correct with the other wire. All associated with the original radios, which were beautiful works of art compared to the new stuff

 

I'd be more worried about that non-OEM splice and what it is supposed to be doing. That is not a factory connection, so someone has mucked with the wiring. The tie wraps also indicate that things are not as they left the factory. The blue wire is likely a speaker wire, but it could be for the optional rear speaker if your radio has the fader control.

 

Hi guys.

Thank you very much for the help.
I am glad to know that the cables you have indicated have that function and not another one that is more difficult to locate.
Indeed, there are many non-OEM cables installed over the years by their former owners, for this reason I have cleaned all the cables that I have seen that did not look factory-made, I still have some left, but much of the work I have already done.
In my car they replaced the original radio and changed it for a pioneer one with colors and stuff, which I really don't like at all, I have to fix the dashboard, which was cut in a bad way and install a radio that perfectly adapts to the look of the time, it doesn't have to be the same one, but it does have the same appearance.
I agree 100% with what @OldGreenPaint indicates, the original radio was beautiful, I don't know why they replaced it with radios with a different appearance, which totally throws off the design of the dashboard.

No OEM cables

 

I was in much the same place as you are now, but you are on the way to figuring it out. If you have not already, you may wish to review this thread on removing an old Craig radio someone chopped into my dash, and installing a good old Ac Delco radio. I had a similar but bigger pile of wire scrap and other junk that I pulled out of the car.
