Need wiring schematic for 1996 GMC Sierra K1500 Radio & speakers

Factory Delco radio & speakers fade in and out. I turn the fade or the balance knob and it will intermittently adjust. I am to the point now where I only have the right front speaker working regularly. Occasionally the right rear speaker will come into effect, although quietly.

SOURCE: Installing a sub in 2008

Hi,

This radio/stereo system does not have aux inputs it only has a 16 pin plug on the back and the antenna etc but not aux output connectors for an external sub woofer.
You will need to get a separate amplifier, and then wire this into it to have a sub speaker.

Also if you remove the radio you must also connect a scan tool to get the radio part number from it, as you will need to enter it back into to get it to work again.

Let me kow if you need more information.

Thanks

Jason

SOURCE: the front door speakers are

The door chime is played over the speaker. I had the same issue the speaker was junk. The circuit resistance was correct but no tunes. Replaced the speaker with one from the junk yard and sounds great all the time.

WIRING FOR 16164325 DELCO RADIO

That is not a radio. That is a control head. The 7 wires carry data to the radio brain which on this trucks is a silver box located directly above the gas pedal. These trucks also had an optional cassette player/ cassette and eq unit that was mounted in the center of the dash that also connected to the radio brain as well.

Wire harness to switch from stock stereo to cd player will not fit the wires that are supposed to? so what wires are the speaker wires

Not sure I understand your question. Did you buy a harness adapter for GMC, or are you trying to just cut the connector off the factory radio and solder it to your CD player? If the latter, below is the color code for your factory wiring.

Installing an aftermarket stereo, spliced the wires and have everything connected including the remote wire to the factory amp wire but still no sound.

There is no remote wire on these newer trucks....03 and up....u have to buy the harness....although i didnt....i have an 03 gmc sierra and just pulled the schematic and matched the wires. And there is no programming to do on an aftermarket stereo.....I work for GMC and we cant program aftermarket stereos......if u buy the right harness ...and its over $100 then everything should work just fine.....and this does not disarm ur alarm system either....mine still works fine....hope this helps
