Setting up a New radio in my 88 sportswagon

[gavin123]

Help,

I've been in the process of setting up a new radio/cd player in my old sportswagon 1988 5 door.

We've taken the old cassette and radio out and are trying to use the old wiring harness. We are having trouble finding a constant power to the area. we have been using a test light but could only find the ignition power.

What steps do i need to take to get a constant power cable to the radio?

Can we wire it from the fuse box, or maybe disconnect the cigar lighter? But we found that to not have any power either? same with the glove box light. could we have a bigger problem.

Has anyone done a mod like this before on their old 88 sportswagon.

anything will help.
