If by "clips" you mean 'plugs', then yes, it Is 2 different clips.

Okay, here are the colors of the new harness in the same order and labeled as they are stamped on the wire: Metra OEM radio wire harness 71-2003-1 24 PIN TOP ROW – LEFT TO RIGHT ORANGE ---- DASH LIGHT ILLUMINATION GREEN W/RED STRIPE ---- * BLUE W/WHITE STRIPE --- AMP TURN ON (12V+)...

thank you , jeepguylv. That's some good advice to check into. I read (in one of my many searches) that red/black was radio illumination but that didn't work. I gotta get it fixed before the weekend--going on a road trip with my son. Thanks again in advance-Mark-

My Sorento is a 2005 Kia Sorento LX with the Sports Package. It is the radio that came with it. It is AM/FM/CD/CASS. The sticker on the back (I saw when it was in my hand) has "Delphi Delco" on it. I couldn't determine a stock number on the sticker. The harness I ordered from Metra, according...

So I stripped the nubs. I've got approx 1/4 of an inch of copper exposed on each wire in the existing cut wire harness. (you know, the grey plug that plugs into the radio itself. I believe I have enough to solder to the bundle in the car. Great idea! Now the only issue is the fact there are two...

I'm putting the factory radio back in. Originally, I was going to install an aftermarket radio but it would not fit in the space allotted. When I realized there wasn't enough clearance, I was going to put the old back in until I got the correct head unit and---here we are.

Wow. Okay, I'll do all that. I've already changed a couple of fuses that I had blown. You said "Connect to red on deck" (I'm assuming "connect red to black"?) if I turn on the parking lights, what's suppose to happen? Do I get 12V on my multi-meter? Louisiana CRX wrote "and connect to radio...

Louisiana CRX---your specs look familiar. On my Metra harnesses (they sent me two), I have TWO orange wires that are stamped "Dash Light Illumination". (one on each bundle) I connected that to my red/black wire, thinking it would turn on my radio digits or something but...no such luck....

I have one. A few of the wires show 0.036-0.062 volts. Of course, the 12V constant shows just that. But the meter does me no good if I don't know what I'm looking for in THAT wire.

CSCStang--**** near at the nub. **** near. I'll try to send some pics.

****, I wish it was red to red easy. Remember I said I was an idiot? Here's why---> I thought I was going to install a new head unit in my 2005 Sorento so I CUT the wires to the wire harness. I cut them SHORT (!) so I could have more wire to work with...(see the idiot part?) I got a new OEM...

Greetings. I am brand new here. Is this a forum where I can get help on the frickin' rewiring of my STOCK head unit's wire harness(!)? (Yes, it's exactly what you are thinking. I admit, I am an idiot that did an idiot move.) And, if it is that kinda forum, is this the right room? Or should I go...
