Jeep Cherokee Audio wiring?

[[email protected]]

I am the 2nd owner of regular '95 Cherokee (not Grand) and am replacing
the stereo, which is not original. The Jeep harness was cut, so the
aftermarket harness adapters do me little good. Can someone decode the
original Jeep audio wire colors for me?
Here are the wires I could eee (it's a bit of a mess back there!)

BLUE w/Orange Stripe
BLUE w/Yellow St
BLUE w/Red St.
Solid Purple
Purple w/White St
Orange w/Blue St
Pink Solid
Green Solid
Lt Blue w/REd St
Brown w/Red St
Brown w/Yellow
Brown w/Blue St
Black

13 wires total - did I miss any?

Also, how to remove the dash trim? It's blocked by the steering wheel
trim (around ignition lock) which I cannot for the life of me remove.

Thanks - huge help and greatly appreciated.

The safest way to remove the trim is to loosen the steering column bolts.
this drops the steering wheel and make removing the dash panel easier.
how did you get the other head unit out?

Thanks a bunch.
Where are the steering column bolts? There are two deeply recessed
holes on the underside of the plastic trim that surrounds the ignition,
as well as a small star screw in the bottom center. Are these what you
are referring to? I could not get a phillips head to grab anything in
the to deep holes.

I got the dash trim loose enough that I was able to bend it without
snapping anything and work the head unit out. Not the way to go. The
dash trim HAS to come out or I will do some damage for sure.

Excellent thanks!
