Protege radio wiring.

Hi. So when I got my Eclipse, I switched the cd players (decks, radios, whatever you call it). I put the nice one from the Protege in the Eclipse and now am having trouble getting the not so good from the Eclipse into the Protege. Does any one have/know/know where to get a diagram so I know what colour wires on the factory harness correspond to what?

Oh, its a 99 Mazda Protege. And the radio is a Panasonic CQ-DFX403U...but its not a problem because its harness is all labeled. I've already tried hooking it up the common sense way (red to red, yellow to yellow, etc) and it wasn't even getting power.

I just need to know what the colours on the factory harness correspond to. Thanks in advance. And if you need more info, I'll be happy to tell you what I know.

See if this helps:

If so, Google is your friend.

Awesome gtrdave! I think that'll work! I won't know for sure until friday when I have the time to actually wire it, but it looks good. I searched high and low for something like that, but never found anything for a '99. Thanks so much!

Okay, so that website was helpful, but dead wrong.
I followed this How to identify stereo wiring.
And got everything figured out.
FYI:
12V Constant: Blue w/ Red Stripe
12V Switched (Accessory): Light Pinkish w/ Black Stripe
Ground: Black.
Left Front Speaker: + Black w/ White Stripe, - Black w/ Red Stripe
Right Front Speaker: + White, - Red
Not sure about rear speakers because I wired them using seperate wires.

Thanks for the help. Hope this helps someone.
