Answer

Since the Factory radio is a Class 2 DATA Type radio, there is no Accessory wire behind radio.
There are expensive Adapter Harnesses that will supply the back of the radio with one, but, If you need a Accessory wire:
BROWN at Ignition Switch wire Harness.
Remove the bottom knee panel below the steering column, then the metal panel behind it, to access the Ignition switch harness

Thank you for your response about the wire to be used. However how do I gain access to the radio antenna, to connect the modulator?

Accepted Answer

Sorry, I didn't see mention of dash removal.
This is kind of a pain & may take the first timer a little longer.
You may have to be a little rough with the dash when you take it out, so be careful.
Also, when installing it back in, you may have to use a Trim Stick or flat blade to get the corners to go back in above the guages, so you don't scratch the dash Pad.

Here are Dash Instructions:

Reply to Lurch's Post: You also didn't finish telling me what kind of an antenna adapter I would need. I went to Best Buy and they had the item I needed. Anyway thanks especially about the right wire to connect. I got the job done and without your help I don't think I could have done it properly. You information was very useful.
