Default Need help installing Changer into 99!

I have a tape HU and bought a 12 disc changer to put in the 99.
I have the harness with two connections on the end. I can actually find the the three pronged connector that is in the pass. footwell taped to the antenna lead.

I can not find the four pronged connection anywhere!

The HU can controll the Changer, but I get Zero sound.

1) Is the four wire plug on my harness supposed to go anywhere?
If so where is it!?
2) Could the changer be bad?
3) Am I an idiot? (I really don't think so, but it has been known to happen!)

HELP!

I Really need your help guys, this is driving me nuts by now.

I have removed the Fusebox, nothing behind it, and the Silver box (amp?) nothing around anywhere that looks like a four pronged connection!

Mine was more in the right corner of the footwell, a little foreward of the fuse block. Almost on the floor.


Good luck.

Refer to the Tech Tips for your answer. Not all cars came with the four prong connector. Mine didn't, but the solution is explained in the Tech Tips section.

that's incorrect.

it's the 3 wire plug that '97 and '98's don't have.( I know because I'm the one who went through all of that and posted the tech tip)

the 4 wire plug is on the floor on the right side of the fuse panel, you really have to look good with plenty of light (preferably daylight!)
Like I said, It took me awhile to find that plug! some other members have mentioned that it was further back along kick panel. so you might want to try and remove the passenger side kick panel and follow the harness back from the foot well.
good hunting! :cheers:

Okay, I am convinced I do not have the connector.
We literally tore apart the whole compartment, found Zero.

Then upon installing my power antenna we found the there was no bose unit above the Gas pedal in the driver's side footwell.

This leads me to believe that I do not have a Bose system! :confused: I checked on Edmunds site and they do list the Bose as an option. I only have the base AM/FM CASS.

I live close to a Delco place so I will day trip tomorrow and see if they have any wisdom to enpart.

A Big Thanks to RPOZ4Z, you were a big help! :blueangel:
