What exactly do you mean by jumping these wires to a large one? Do you mean splicing? And pics would be a huge help

Thanks,

Justin

You actually dont need to make a splice. All that you need to do is get a small piece of wire (2-3 inches) and about 16-18 guage. Find the small green harness that is no longer being used after installing an aftermarket radio. It's probably stuffed into the space behind your new radio. On that harness, find the green wire with a black stripe and the green wire with a red stripe. Take the small piece of wire and stick one end into the pin for the green/red wire and stick the other end into the pin for the green/black wire. Use some electrical tape to secure the "jumper" wire into the harness so that it doesn't fall out. This should fix your problem. As mentioned in an earlier post, the removal of the factory radio may also prevent your keyless entry / alarm from working, but the only way to get around that is to keep the factory radio hooked up.
