Radio's 200 1982

posted by  someone claiming to be Volvo Maniac David on  Sat Jan 26 10:47 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Hello, I have a 1982 240 that has a am/fm stereo in it. Well I was getting some parts off of a 1981 GL when I saw it had a original Volvo cassette radio in it. I measured the openings and it would fit in my 240 so I bought from the guy for $20. Well I go to install it and when I take out the old am/fm it has a blue wire with inline fuse(positive I assume) and a large black (ground)and then two speaker wires. I look at the cassette deck and it has blue wire with inline fuse (positive I suspect) and a red wire (???? Ground)and then speaker wires. Well I hook it up and everytime you turn it on it blows the inline fuse (2amp). I not sure what is wrong. Are they compatible??? It says 12volt neg ground on both stereos. I have look at wiring diagrams for the 240 but they are somewhat incomplete. I have also looked for a 242 GL wiring diagram but have not found one. This is how I ended up here. Can anyone help?? Thank you! David
