Delco radio......I give up

How many connections? There shouldn't be more than ground, power and
speaker. Have you determined which is ground with an ohm meter?
 
Can you post a picture of the connector on the internet?

Just when you think you've heard everything - I've been looking for some
real basic connector pinout info for a Delco AM/FM receiver that was in a
John Deere bulldozer........posted a rq on here with no help...searched
way too long via Google and tried to determine some basic pinout info by
studying the mainboard inside (sort of stuff I've done successfully for
about 30 years or so) - first time that a basic receiver made so little
sense. Figured I'd contact Delco (i.e. Delphi
via their entertainment info contact link). This was their reply
verbatim:



Dear Sir,
It sounds like your Delco radio is a factory installed AM/FM. These
radios are built annd are the sole property of the vehicle manufacturer
who
installed it. All information and wiring diagrams for this product must
come
from the vehicle OE manufacturer.
Thank you for contacting Delphi-iss

any idea of what year (or decade) ? 12 volt or 6 volt?

it this an old mono unit with a single big heat sink mounted transistor on
the back?

does the main board plug into a board on the back ?
 
Car AM/FM radios are so cheap, unless this one has some sentimental
value (a Delco? Ha!)you're right to give up. Why knock yourself out?
Just swap it out.

Well if it is a modern delco radio like those in a Chevy / GM vehicle you
could always buy a wiring harness adapter that gives you labeled wires for
installing a new cd player or radio. You could use this to find out what
wires are what.

Don't forget 'switched power', 'always on' power (for memory retention),
illumination power, and antenna power...to name a few more possibilities.

Given the make, model, and year you might be able to find the
information on Crutchfield's site (well, at least you could find a cheap
connector adapter..).

Have you looked at any Delco car radio since the mid '60s? They did
use a three wire harness, plus a separate pilot lamp that was connected
to he dimmer for the dash lamps. By the early '70s they had three
separate plugs.

Did you do as I suggested and check out the factory manual for the
piece of heavy equipment? Every GM manual I've ever had, had the wiring
diagrams for the vehicle and all optional accessories. An factory
authorized servicer should have the manual. As far as searching Google,
there are a number of sites that sell wiring harnesses. Here in Ocala
there are a number of car stereo places that stock the replacement plugs
where someone cut off the original connector. You can even find them at
Circuit City, where they sell car audio. Take the radio to any one of
them and see which plug fits. The packaging has the wiring diagram.

perhaps if we had the year it would help. I was assuming this was
pretty old. I guess some of those John Deere's are pretty fancy.
 
Well I had to chuckle at many of the replies - I liked the one
suggesting that because it was out of a John Deere that it must be old.
No I don't have a diagram for this piece of machinery (typical scenario
for repair). I haven't found any audio connector companies that show
anything similar...so far. It's a late model unit..maybe 2002 using
SMT. No I'm not a good photographer but have tried to capture some
crude pics with my cheapo 640x480 digital cam which I've attached to
give anyone an idea. Yes I'm aware of what I'd normally expect to look
for when tracing connections without the aid of a schematic for typical
receivers.

Any help appreciated - Gord

Top of the line JD combine with GPS etc etc etc is near $ 1 million.

Cost of the AM/FM/CD radio insignificant.
