I think you got the last two backwards. Blue is typically the kick on
wire, that provides a signal to an amp when the radio is on (or a power
antennae) and yellow is the memory wire for the clock.

Strictly a guess on my part, but these things are pretty standard.
Black is ground.
Red is +12 when the key is on. Provides power for most of the radio.
Blue is "keep alive" power for the memory in the radio. Needs to be
hooked to +12 even when the radio is off so the pre-set stations will be
remembered.
Yellow is probably the output for a power antenna. It is +12 when the
radio is on.

Hi,
I'm looking for some help in wiring the radio which is going into my '51
GMC 1/2 ton. It is a fairly recent Sony radio/casette player. There
are 4 wires going to the connector which plugs into the back of the unit
that I am not sure about (also not sure where the instructions are!).
If any of you out there have recently put in a Sony radio I would
appreciate your help in telling what the Black, Yellow, Red and Blue
wires connect to.
Thanks
Gordon Wilhelm
