2000 Elantra Wagon Stereo Harness
Hi again,
I'm still trying to get the new CD player headunit installed in my 2000 Elantra Wagon. I ordered and received a harness that I hoped would work, but I haven't had luck yet. The unit turns on, but nothing shows on the display and there's no sound. I've tracked down a couple of wiring schematics, but they don't match what's on the harness in the car. Here's the wiring of the harness that went into the back of the stock radio...I'll list them with the angled corners of the connector facing up: Top row: ----------- Empty White ----------- (no connections here) ----------- Black Brown Green/Black ----------- Bottom Row: ----------- Black Brown Yellow ----------- Red/White Orange ----------- Orange White Green/White ----------- Does anyone have an *accurate* listing of what these connections are? Also, is there an issue because I purchased the car in the US and had it shipped to Europe and that the new headunit is European (ISO connections in the back of it)? I doubted it, figuring power is power and speakers are speakers (and the fact that all of it is made in Korea anyway). Thanks, Mike |
Re: 2000 Elantra Wagon Stereo Harness
Here's what I've got:
Pin 1: empty Pin 2: Black/white - l/r speaker (-) Pin 3: Red - l/f speaker (-) Pin 4: Black - r/f speaker (-) Pin 5: Black/green - r/r speaker (-) PIn 6: Green/black - Illumination (-) Pin 7: Black - ground Pin 8: empty Pin 9: Yellow - l/f speaker (+) PIn 10: Red/Black - constant power PIn 11: Blue/White - Ignition power Pin 12: Red/Blue - r/f speaker (+) PIn 13: White - r/r speaker (+) Pin 14: Green/white - Illumination (+) Pin 18: Brown - l/r speaker (+) I'm guessing Pin 18 is a typo and is really supposed to be Pin 8. I believe this connector has six cavities on top (pins 1-6) and 8 on the bottom (pins 7-14). I don't think the radio connectors have changed very much, so when in doubt go by the pin location. |

Thanks for the help. I wired everything as listed. Unfortunately, for some
reason, the radio buttons light up, but there's nothing on the display, and nothing coming through the speakers. I brought the radio back to the store where I bought it, the guy tested it, and it all works perfectly. Is it possible that there could be a problem due to the fact that I bought the car in the US, but the radio was purchased in Germany? (we moved here and brought the car with us) I was under the assumption that it should still work because it all is 12v. |
Re: 2000 Elantra Wagon Stereo Harness
I can't imagine why there'd be a problem with a German stereo. If it's all
12V, then it should work. Start with checking your wiring for power. You should have power at the two wires indicated (one constant, one switched). Check for proper ground in your ground wire. If you can manage it, try to output a portable radio to the speaker wires or look in the trunk and inside the doors to check the speaker wire colors. They may or may not be the same as the speakers are all probably in different harnesses than the radio. |

When I pop the old stock radio back in, though, everything works, which leads me to believe the wiring's ok (but I'll still test to be sure!). I'm not replacing it because of any defect, it's just that I wanted a CD player in the car. |

I changed it to a 15A, but nothing changed. So much for that. |
Re: 2000 Elantra Wagon Stereo Harness
As long as the fuse isn't blown, that won't be your problem. I didn't
think to mention earlier that once you take the door panels off, you can disconnect the speakers and test for continuity to see which wire is which. |

I found the problem. Today I took the car to the shop to deal with a transmission problem. While I was there, I brought up this problem. Naturally, I plug the new HU in, and it works!! I go back home to finally finish this nightmare, and it doesn't work. Here is where the problem was: The new HU came with a sleeve. You mount the sleeve to the car, then slide the HU in. However, in my car, there's nothing back there for the sleeve to grab onto..just 2 screws on each side. So, I took the 90° angle brackets off the old HU, and mounted them on the new one, not using the sleeve. Apparently, there's something involving the sleeve and the clips mounted to the HU that causes it not to work if not connected. Which leaves me back at square one...trying to figure out how to mount it. Thanks to everyone for their help in this so far! Mike |
