Re: 240dl Radio install

Please post a model year and I will try and sort it out for you.
All the 240s I have seen have the factory radio wires taped onto the harness but they end at a Molex white nylon connector just to the left of the center console.
To install a newer stereo you must have a minimum of 7 wires. Unswitched power (batt/memory), switched power (acc/ign), ground, and 2 wires for each speaker. You cannot combine the speaker grounds or the amps in the stereo will auto shut-down. (sounds like what is happening).
