another am radio question HELP!

ok. been searching but i dont seem to have the wiring spades listed as others do...or im confused...or both.
If i hook up power to the 12v spade and ground the radio...it remains dead when grounded. knob on/off makes no change if i hook up power to the unmarked middle spade, it lights up when grounded. knob on/off makes no change everyone says hook power up to the one that says 12v. but it only looks to work when i do it on the middle one...so im confused. haven't even got to the sound part yet |

Here's a picture of a radio wiring harness. Maybe it'll help. Looks like the 12V/power wire is at the end. Other 2 are speaker.

antennae must be hooked up or the radio will be quiet. I agree with FirstOwner69 on the wiring. Also if the radio is powered up with out the speaker hooked up(and the correct resistant speaker) you can quickly burn up the ceramic fuse in the output circuit. Bruce

i tried it with an 8ohm sony bookshelf speaker when trying all the connections. again, silence but lights up when grounded if i hook the 12v to the MIDDLE spade. if i hook it to the end one that says '12v' the radio does nothing. im thinking its dead, not sure how else to know. i thought maybe if it lights then there was a chance. |

EDIT: Your picture in post 1 shows only 2 wires. There should be 2 wires to the speaker as in the picture I posted in post 2. |

I zoomed in on the picture in post 2 in order to show the ends of the 2 wires that connect to the speaker. You can even see how these broke off the speaker.

This thread has some diagrams for radio installation. It clearly shows the power wire to the spade closest to the side of the radio.
