radio needs re wire help
Whoever has butchered my cars wireing b4 me needs to be shot. I havnt drivern car in a wile..the fuse for the radio went last time the starter solonoid went. Aparantly the power wire is going to there. Idk where the ground wire is going... so after trying to crank it over alot ( need a brake booster) the starter soloniod would pop and the radio would go out. Anyways how do i get it working right again? Where do i run wires to? Do i tie directly into the battery and ground it on a suspension or body part?

So I take it that the stock wiring harness is no longer present in the car? A stock radio has no need to be connected to the battery itself. If you have to wire it yourself you need to find a wire that's hot when the ignition is set to ACC and connect it there. Connecting it to the starter solenoid is dumb.
