  1. Help me please!! Hooking up radio in my dodge durango, theres no green wire on my factory wire harness. Where does it go? Is the green wire on the speaker harness or the radio harness? Have 2 green speaker wires thats it? Instead of writing u 20 more questions could u send me a diagram to make this experience a little bit easier on this woman PLEASE?

  2. Larry, use the remote turn-on wire on your aftermarket stereo wire harness and wire it to the green wire on your factory radio wire harness. Hope this helps. Good luck with your 1998 Dodge Durango stereo installation.

  3. Hey guys I’m hooking up new speakers in my 1998 Dodge Durango and I’m on the left rear door. I’m seeing brown with yellow stripe wire and brown with bright blue stripe wire. can anyone tell me which is positive and which is negative?

  4. I have a 98 Dodge Durango. I installed my Alpine stereo and the radio worked great. My cd player was acting up kept getting error but just figured something was wrong. I tried useing the Aux for my mp3 alls I got was a muffled sound outa my suwoofer. Previously worked fine in my jeep. Thinking I had bad luck I bought a new Alpine and again radio works and sounds great but cd player is muffled and only through subwoofer. Any help would be awesome.

  5. Bob, you have to ground your aftermarket radio to the chassis (vehicle frame) when you don’t have a factory ground wire in the stereo wire harness. Simply ground your wire to the chassis (look below).

    1. Find some bare metal on your vehicle (somewhere near your factory radio harness). Make sure this bare metal touches the chassis (frame) of the vehicle.

    2. Connect a ring terminal to the black wire coming off your aftermarket radio harness.

    3. Use a self tapping screw to attach the black wire with ring terminal to the bare metal.

    Hope this helps. Good luck with grounding your car stereo.

  6. If it says ground wire n/a– does that mean you do not need to connect a ground wire when installing the stereo

  7. can some one tell me how to ground this new stereo I have if there is ground wire coming from the vehicle.. 98 durango..please..

  8. Saxxon, your 1998 Dodge Durango may have a factory amplifier that needs to be turned on by your after market radio. The car stereo amplifier trigger wire has to be wired up to turn on your factory amplifier. Unfortunately, we do not have this information but maybe someone from the Modified Life community can post that information here. Hope this helps. Good luck.

  9. hello my name is saxxon and i installed a alpine radio in a 1998 Dodge Durango and i am not getting any sound… any ideas… thanks

  10. Kim, after making the connections above, try using the left over green wire and hook up your amp trigger wire to it. This wire should turn on your factory amp to produce sound. Hope this helps. Good luck.
