After plugging in my pass side window motor (which was unplugged by previous owner because windows didn't work I repaired the white ground wire and now they both work) Then my radio all of the sudden wont turn on. Ive got power to both sides of both fuses and Ive got power to the blue/yellow wire and ground on the brown wire but I have no power to the grey accessory wire.
does anyone know where the grey wire comes from? If I put power to the wire the radio turns on I know this is my problem just not sure where the wire leads from. I know the wire comes from the back the car.

I do not have my SC manual available, but if you say the grey wire goes to the back of the car, does it go to the CD player inside the trunk (assuming you have the stock CD player back there)?? Perhaps there is a loose wire there that completes the power circuit. I am guessing it was a coincidence that the radio quit working when you repaired the windows.

So i ended up tracing the wiring from the radio to the fuse box. no power at the plug coming out of the fuse panel. So i've got a break somewhere behind the fuse panel between my 15a raido fuse and plug. For now I just ran a wire from the cold side of the fuse to the acc. wire on the plug a little trashy but it works for now.
