How screwed am I

In taking my stock head unit out I broke that little red wire that's sauntered on the od green one that I'm assuming was my power wire. What do I need to to to get it working my unit now

 

What does "sauntered" mean?

 

Let's see some pics. You'll either have to repair it by soldering it or buy a pigtail from dealer.

 

I think solder.

 

Hold on a sec

 

Duh, that now makes sense!!

 

You are so F'ed dude!

 

Wait a minute, are you a Canadian that defected to the U.S. and living in Atlanta?

 

Here's the sautered section that broke from this wire. I cut and crimped the part that was on the greenish wire so it's back together but I can't get the power red to get everything back on

 

Nah from OK lived in tx but am stuck in ga lol

 

That doesn't look factory.

 

Should be. It's bone stock

 

Oh, I saw the Royal Canadian Navy emblem under your name. lol


I might be more concerned about why the red wire is sitting on your counter. What was that plugged in to? the stereo? That pin looks like it should be in a connector of some kind.

 

Ok this is what I did. The sautered part was cut out after it broke where it was connected to the od green wire. The red wire is part of a whole separate small black box with a ground wire and another wire running to the floor. I have the "od green" wire cut exposing the wire about 6 in from the pig tail that it runs to. I have tryed to just wrap it around the exposed piece to no avil. I'm going to try and sauter it tomorrow but didn't think that it would make a diffrence than if it's crimped or spliced

 

I can pull mine out tomorrow and take a look if you like and see what it's hooked to for you. I don't remember a black box in there though. You have the regular radio or the JBL?

 

I'll take a pic. It's a 2011 d cab non jbl non touch screen

 

That's the same year and what I had. I've got a dvd HU in it now but the wiring is all still there.

You can see where I have the od green wire cut open and the red wire coming from the black box that I believe to be key in my power sitiuation
