Hi,

Anyone know or know where to find the stereo wire color codes for an 87 accord sedan?

Thanks!

As follows:
Y/R POWER SOURCE ACC IGNITION
W/Y MEMORY SAVE POWER -ALWAYS HOT- goes to same fuse as clock
R/BL LIGHTING CIRCUIT FOR DISPLAY goes to dimming circuit
R/G, Br/Bl RF speaker
Gr/Bl, Bu/G LF speaker
Br/W. R/Y RR speaker
Gr/w, Bu/Y LR speaker

Thanks, any idea which is positive and which is negative?

Wires identified as power wires and lighting are postiive. Negative is not IDed in the manual, but is probably solid black because it goes to a chassis ground point.

I apologize for not making myself clear. I understand the power wires are postive and the groud (negative) is black. What I meant was do you know which speaker wire is positive and which is negative for each of LF, RF, LR, RR? Thanks!

It is not in my drawings. There really isn't a + and a -. but you want all the speaker cones going in the same direction (in phase) with the sound or they would cancel it out. I don't know how you would test them unless there is one of the speaker pair wire that is common to all the other speaker pairs. That is with an ohm meter check to see if there is a common connection between one of the speaker wires in another pair. If you can find commonality, call all of them + or -.

tnx!

Well - I don't know about your year, but my later Honda has a pair of wires from each speaker. No common connection.

So an ohmmeter probably won't tell you anything. Ideally, connect a (1.5 volt) battery to each speaker pair in turn, watching which way the cone goes (not easy - inside the door panel at the front; though the ones under the rear shelf are a little easier if you have an assistant). When it moves outwards on connecting the battery, call the wire touching the + side of that battery "+"

If you do that for all 4 speakers, they'll be in phase.
