I am installing a radio, the PO made a real mess out of the wiring.
however i was able to use the books and figure out that the yellow 14
gauge wire is hot. the gray 18 gauge wire is ground. however the new
radio says to:
ground to ground
connect yellow to the constant 12 volt power
connect red to be controlled by ignition.

ground is easy, but the other two? it seems to me the yellow 14 gauge
power is constant, what wire is controlled by the ignition?
can i just hook both power to the yellow and just make sure to power
off the radio to stop battery drain?

all help is appreciated!
