Setup and Installation
Proper installation of the HY10B wiring harness is crucial for the correct functioning of your aftermarket stereo. Follow these general steps:
- Preparation: Before beginning, ensure your vehicle's battery is disconnected to prevent electrical shorts. Gather all necessary tools and your aftermarket stereo's wiring diagram.
- Identify Wires: The HY10B harness uses EIA standard color-coded wires. Match the wires on the HY10B harness to the corresponding wires on your aftermarket stereo's harness. Refer to the EIA Wire Color Code Chart provided below and your stereo's owner's manual for specific wiring details.
- Connect Wires: Securely connect the wires from the HY10B harness to your aftermarket stereo's harness. It is recommended to solder and heat-shrink connections for the most reliable bond, or use high-quality crimp connectors. Ensure each connection is insulated to prevent short circuits.
- Connect Harness to Vehicle: Once all connections between the HY10B harness and your aftermarket stereo are made, plug the vehicle-specific connector of the HY10B harness into your vehicle's factory radio wiring harness.
- Test and Secure: Reconnect the vehicle's battery. Test the functionality of your new stereo, including power, audio output for all speakers, and any other features. Once confirmed, secure the stereo and wiring in the dashboard.

Operating
Once the Scosche HY10B wiring harness is correctly installed and connected to your aftermarket stereo, the stereo should operate as intended. The harness acts as an adapter, ensuring that power, ground, speaker signals, and other necessary connections are properly routed from your vehicle's factory wiring to your new stereo.
Refer to your aftermarket stereo's instruction manual for details on its specific operation, features, and settings.
Maintenance
The Scosche HY10B wiring harness is designed for long-term reliability and requires minimal maintenance. Once installed, ensure that all connections remain secure and free from moisture or excessive vibration. There are no user-serviceable parts within the harness itself.
- Periodically check connections if you experience intermittent issues with your stereo.
- Keep the area around the wiring harness clean and dry.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues after installing the HY10B wiring harness, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- No Power to Stereo:
- Check the vehicle's fuse box for any blown fuses related to the radio or accessory power.
- Verify that the constant 12V (Yellow wire) and switched 12V (Red wire) connections are secure and correctly matched.
- Ensure the ground wire (Black wire) is securely connected to a bare metal chassis point.
- No Sound from Speakers:
- Confirm that all speaker wires (Green, White, Gray, Purple, and their black-striped counterparts) are correctly matched and securely connected to the aftermarket stereo's speaker outputs.
- Check the balance and fader settings on your aftermarket stereo.
- Ensure your vehicle does not have a factory amplified system, as this harness is designed for non-amplified systems.
- Intermittent Power or Sound:
- Inspect all wire connections for looseness or poor insulation. Re-crimp or re-solder any questionable connections.
- Ensure the harness connector is fully seated into the vehicle's factory harness.
- Radio Not Receiving Stations:
- Verify that the antenna adapter (if used) is correctly connected.
- Ensure the blue wire (Antenna Turn On) from the aftermarket stereo is connected to the corresponding wire on the harness (if applicable for powered antenna).
If issues persist after following these steps, it is recommended to consult a professional car audio installer or contact Scosche customer support.
