'79 242 radio wiring help! 200 1979

posted by  someone claiming to be folsom242 on  Mon Jul 28 15:04 CST 2008 [RELATED]

I just got this car, and the radio doesnt turn on. all fuses seem to be in tact. its not the stock deck, some crappy sony tape player. anyways the wiring is all chopped up, and I need some help figuring out where it all goes. some pictures to help explain things (they might be a little big :) ):

The wires that come out of the radio cubby. There is an orange wire that is not hooked up to anything,and the grey antenna wire. also a bundled wire with a black/yellow lined wire (has a red connector to a grey wire) and a plain black wire. there is some cheap speaker wire coming in from the drivers door, and next to it is another plain black wire. could that black bundle be coming from the passenger door speaker?

The mess from the radio. the speaker wire seems to be connected to a green wire and a plain black wire. should the orange be the power wire?

a wire and fuse not hooked up to anything. should the orange wire be hooked up to this?
