Radio

I need instructions for installing a stock radio in a 1990 Plymouth
Sundance. On my first try it seemed as though the entire dashboard must
be removed. Help would be appreciated.

On most Chrysler products of that era, just the panel around the radio
needs to be removed. It is removed by gently pulling around the edges
until the snaps pop out. Once it is loose, the ash try lamp will need
to be removed from it's holder on the bottom of the panel. I am not
sure if the Sundance has one or not.

Once the panel is removed, there will be two hex screws that hold the
radio in. Does your Sundance already have a radio installed? I believe
that even base models at least came with the AM/FM Stereo radio.

If you are installing a stock radio, you will just need to connect the
black and grey connectors to the back, the antenna, and the ground
strap.

Thanks for the help. I was afraid to pry on the plastic panel around
the radio and heater. I will give it a try ever so gentle.I let you
know.

It worked, just as you said. Problem is the replacement radio won't
turn on either. Must be something in the wiring. Fuse is good. Any
helpful tips trying to trace the wires?

I am afraid that I can't help much there. A wiring diagram would
probably be best if you can find one for that model. Should be included
in the factory service manual. As a start, you might check the harness
connectors to ensure that they are making good contact.

Is the LED clock on the radio face displaying? If not, neither power
conductor to the radio is getter power.
