There is another wire a thin black wire. What is that wire for? Also how do I disconnect it? I am trying to put in a new aftermarket radio. Thanks jk306 User Oct 4, 2010, 12:13 PM Post #2 of 3 (3507 views) Re: 1998 dodge grand caravan Sign In I would recommend getting a wiring harness for your car to install the stereo. It makes it much easier to install as you can just match up the colors and no cutting of the wire plug is required. To release the wire harness from the stereo, you will need a small flat head screwdriver to release the clip, and it should pull right out. The thin black wire is not required for the installation, so just leave it alone and tape it off or secure it with a zip tie. The braided wire is the ground, so make sure it is secured with the ground wire on the stereo wire harness. varuuth New User Oct 4, 2010, 12:46 PM Post #3 of 3 (3503 views) Re: 1998 dodge grand caravan Sign In thanks for the reply. you say it is not needed for the install of the new stereo, but.. i'm curious do you know what the black wire is for?   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
