1994 940 Radio Replacement, Missing Amplifier??

[mister grimsdale]

Not sure how helpful this'll be, but a while back I was looking into this with a view to making up an adapter so I could troubleshoot a CR-905 on the bench. (This is the radio from a 1994 940 Wentworth saloon).

I had great difficulty finding the connectors, but eventually found that they're Yazaki items, and I was able to get some from Japan (this was before the recent changes in import duty on small value packages, so might be more expensive now). I bought them through Rakuten Global Market, but the link I have for there seems to be dead now. These are the family of connectors though:

They come without pins, so you'd also need a set of those:

And they also need a retainer for the pins and that seems to be sold out.

Connections on the printed circuit board are labelled as below, and agree with the pinout for the CR-905 at https://www.tehnomagazin.com/Auto-ra...-Connector.htm (The more detailed descriptions in the right-hand column are from the info for a Y-adaptor that I bought off eBay):

Connector A:
1. GND Chassis ground (-12V)
2. DIM NC
3. BATT 12 Volt battery/constant (+12V)
4. P.A. Power antenna
5. FL- Left front negative
6. FL+ Left front positive
7. GND NC
8. ACC 12 volt ignition switched (12V+)
9. BATT NC
10. RHEO- NC
11. RHEO+ Dash light illumination
12. TEL NC
13. FR- Right front negative
14. FR+ Right front positive

Connector B:

2. FL-
3. RL+
4. RL-
5. FR+

Hope that's some help.
