2004 silverado wiring harness

[johndoe1234 10+ year member]

I just bought an 04 silverado and it has the stock cd player in it... I am having a hard time finding a wiring harness for it. Anyone have any suggestions on where to find one?

Ive tried crutchfield and various other websites and nobody seems to have them. **** best buy and autozone cant even find them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Any help is appreciated

Is that gonna be the $150 bypass **** that some cars need to have?

 

[ltr450racer690 10+ year member]

well for a aftermarket cd player yes it will have to be. sonicelextric (sp) has them and there only about 80

I think I paid like $5 or $10 for mine. I bought it from my local audio shop. He tried to sell me the bypass one. He told me I HAD to have it. Luckily I knew better though. the only difference is I dont have a door bell anymore, but I could give two shits about that.

I think this is what you need...

It isn't JUST the door chime. If you have onstar, you'll lose it. You also run a chance of losing any info displays.

However, most silverado's seem to be bare bones so a regular harness will work. The only thing is that there is no accessory power in the harness, so you're gonna have to find a source.

Its the work truck model 4.3l 5 speed... It has no power windows or locks and no onstar. What do you mean by info displays?

And where can i find a wire for the accessory power?

Ok i have no ****ing idea where to look now... I tried two different harnesses from a local shop and neither worked... Anybody have anymore suggestions?

Will chevy sell me the harness without the bypass ********?

Im seriously thinking about just hard wiring the *****... I know its a bad idea but this is starting to piss me off

 

[boogeyman 10+ year member]

so you need the stock harness?

 

[blazeplacid 10+ year member]

crutchfield has them

id feel better getting the right stuff vs harness that may or may not work

Im sure you can find a way to make it work if you really want to

 

[Plottin4success 10+ year member]

I never even thought about if you had onstar or not. The only thing I lost was the door chime. I ran a wire from my radio to my fuse box under the hood for power.

Plottin,

I'm installing a aftermarket radio into a friends '04 silverado 1500 and I have a couple of questions for you.

1. The truck does not have onstar or bose system, plain jane factory radio with a cd player. Did the wire harness you mentioned above work?

2. can you explain/show how to wire directly to the fuse box under the hood.

I've done a few installs and feel I know what I'm doing, I just over think things sometimes. Also, the friend is a 65 year old guy who is just anal about things and I don't want to F something up or I would never hear the end of it.
