So I was reinstalling my stereo today when the ignition switched +12v wire decided to pop off its connector, as you can see below. Now here's my problem: I can't figure out where the wire it came off of is! Does anyone know where it comes from? I fished around for like 20 minutes and couldn't find it. It's a lower dash unit, as you can probably tell.

That red wire is for the power antenna and probably never was hooked up (unless you have that option). The small black and green ones next to it are the hot (memory) and hot (accessory) wires, not sure why they used those colors.

Ah, okay. Thanks.

I figured it was the +12v because I stopped getting power for some reason. I'm pretty sure it's not the fuse since my cigarette lighter works (and they're on the same fuse, I believe).

Now to find the actual reason...
