Default Radio harness hacker!!!!

I just bought a 1992 cherokee laredo 4x4 and first off went to work stripping out the wiring the previous owners had done. Pulled out 2 different alarms and some whacked out fog light wiring. Last but not least the radio harness had been cut but rewired and the wire colors match so I figured that at some point some one put the factory connecter back that someone previous had cut. To the point though I went to try to buy the harness to put my new radio in and none of the ones I bought will fit so what I want to know is is this the right plug if not any ideas what this one is? thanks ok on secound thought for some reason i cannot up load pics so does anyone have a pic of what the connector should look like or what harness i need thanks

mine was hacked up but like most, red is hot, yellow is ignition, black is ground, then just match the others with their black striped counter parts and play tunes while connecting them to the approprite deck outs to figure out which ones are front/rear and left/right then crimp it all up.

There might be, power antenna, light, power to the memory as well. Is antenna white and memory yellow? Light might be orange or red with a stripe?

Oh..just read krazy's post better. sounds like he has it better.

thanks for the advice everyone I cannot bring myself to do the cut and splice method lol I just dont have it in me but with a little shopping around I found the correct harness adapter just so anyone who needs to know knows when it says MOST chrysler vehicles 88-96 this does not mean cherokee i guess its not like most chryslers

lol x2^^ its easy as hell really. I did my first one by myself with no help, and no prior experience with radios. Lol the only thing you can really screw up is mixing up the ground hot or the ground and memory. Other than that its all test and check if its not obvious.

Carpenter's credo, "measure twice, cut once" Contractors credo, "just cut the dam board!". Point being just hooking up the wires and moving on, might be the "right way".

I had a similar problem I went to the auto store bought the harness that said jeep with right Years and no fit. So asked the guy at the counter and he pulled up the right harness on the cpu. You might have to order it
