Question
i have a 94 intrepid with a pioneer deh-18000 i turn my lights on and radio shuts off i cant get power to my amp or my box to work  do you have the wiring diagnostic for this please or can u help i looked on google but couldnt find what i need thanks

Answer
Either you have wrong wiring or bad battery/alternator that loses power when lights go on.

Go to the bottom of this page

http://installdr.com/InstallDocs/DCP/PDF/327033.pdf

and you will find a wiring layout with colors and descriptions of the car's wiring configuration.

Download the chart on the Pioneer and with the connection diagram it can match to the wiring of the car.  I also urge you to use a commercially available wiring harness which allows you to easy match all the wires.  This is especially good if you need to remove the head unit;; just unplug the wiring harness plug.  I think you can get the harness for your car at Walmart for under $10.  If Walmart no longer has the Chrysler harnesses you can find them at www.crutchfield.com or installer.com as well.

Good Luck,
