You've hooked the stereo up to the same power feed as the odo, and it's stealing power from the odo. Find a better hot wire to hook the stereo to. I'd suggest the lighter, or even better, the power feed for the original stereo.

Only if you are wanting to keep the car bone-stock. Otherwise, any reputable car stereo installer can fix you up with a new and much-improved stereo system that will in no way effect the normal operation or dependability of the vehicle. Good Luck! Dub

How do you install your after market stereo in your 1986 Chevy Monte Carlo and which wires are which?

Here is a site on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/Stereo-Wire-Harness-OEM-Chevy-Monte-Carlo-86-87-88_W0QQitemZ110032845206QQihZ001QQcategoryZ64579QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem This is a reverse wire harness. Plug it into your car's original harness that went to the factory stereo. The wires that come out of the harness are labeled so they can be easily connected to your new stereo. If you don't want to order the harness, the link has the original color diagram, so if you think you can manage, don't order the plug and just look at the colors and what they coorespond to and plug them into your new stereos harness. Also on eBay or many other places, there are stereo adaptors. This will hold your stereo and it will look much better than a do it yourself job. Plus they screw into the original holes. Hope this helps.
