    Forget about the wire colors for a moment and focus on the pin numbers of the main power connector. (The one with 8 pins all in a line)

    Pin 1 - Radio Memory Power - Should be hot (12 VDC) at all times & fused!

    Pin 2 - Ground

    Pin 3 - Radio Main Power - Should be hot in ACC & RUN only (12 VDC)

    Pin 4 - Radio Backlight Dimming - Should show 0-12 VDC when headlights are on and dimming rheostat is turned.

    Pin 5 - Same as Pin 4

    Pin 6 - Ground

    Pin 7 - Radio "On" Signal (Output) Goes hot (~ 12 VDC) when radio turns on. This line goes to the CD Player/Changer & takes it out of stand-by mode so it can play discs. It is also used to trigger the power antenna in some cars. (DO NOT connect directly to Power Antenna...must use relay)

    Pin 8 - Radio "On" Signal (Output) Goes hot (~ 10 VDC) when radio turns on. This line goes to the Main Amplifier & takes it out of stand-by mode so it can work. This is also known as "LOGIC MUTE"

    Leave all other connectors unplugged for a moment and verify that you have the main connector wired correctly. If you get the correct voltages at the proper times, then the radio should turn on and off normally. If it doesn't, then radio may be at fault.

        No, I don't believe it will hurt to hook it up but you can try without it first. The JBL amp draws more current than the Premium Sound amp and normally gets its 12 volt feed separately so it is fused separately. The premium sound amp draws its power from the same supply as what feeds the radio.

              so i finally using pauls directions i have every wire hooked up to the radio right. so far it has not stopped working. the only thing wrong now is i have no am/fm stations. i am thinking this is a headunit problem.

                  That is a VERY common problem almost always due to capacitor leakage.
                  Head unit needs looked at.

                  Does tape work okay? Double check antenna connection?

                    antenna connection is fine. tape player works fine. I will be sendin you the mark vii jbl headunit and the amplifier. the headunit plays music only on the left side and the amplifier has disorted sound. both will be sent to you for a total rebuild and after those are rebuilt i will send you the town car headunit and other amplifier. how much to rebuild the headunit and amplifier.
