AM Radio

I took the radio out to see why it is not working. No wires are connected to it. The antenna wire is where it should be and appears intact. The speaker wires were cut and I am not sure which of the unattached wires under the dash are for the radio power and radio light. The connectors I have in my kit are not the right size to fit the ones on the radio so I need to buy some more. I also found this zip file of wiring pictures which will help me.

I bought some 18 - 22 gauge connectors and wire at the local Radio Shack. Using a voltmeter I found an unattached wire that is connected to the ignition switch and used that to power the radio. The radio is now working but since it is AM only will most likely be replaced.
