the resistors that came with my pac swi-ps are color coded it seems but they dont tell you which ones are which and i dont have a multi meter. does anyone know which color codes are which?

 

DMM would be easiest

google ohm color code

 

what ohms is it asking for. ill post the colors

 

150 ohm resistor and 47 ohm resistor

thanks

 

I need to get resistor's for my pac-swi-ps. The freaking audio shop didnt use resistors for the install, and the the swi-ps dont work. Where can i buy resistors? does radio shack have resistors?

 

i googled and found this might be helpful.

yes radio shack has almost all of them instock

 

i found my 150 ohm resistor,but the other resistors in the pack are high ohm resistors the only one left is a 41 ohm resistor.can i still use this 41 ohm or should i take a trip to radio shack?

 

I got both 150 and 47 ohm resistors at radio shack(pack of 5 for $.99 for each type of resistors). The resistors are much bigger than the resistors provided with the pac, but seems to work good.

 

you bought 1 watt resistors, you only needed 1/4 watt resistors... they'll work fine though. No worries

 

the 47 ohm resistor is colored yellow, violet, black. if like mine, you should only have 1 resistor with a yellow stripe on it. look at the second stripe carefully, the violet looks brown unless you look at it under a good bright light source.

 

 

ok it is violet. thanks, so im good. also do i cover the resistors with the heat shrink or just leave em exposed,and do i solder them into the pins or do i splice them into the wires of the nissan adapter harness or the harness from the dnx8120 hu? i have one more issue. i have a 2005 g35x and the diagrams i found show the pin numbers in the terminals. i dont understand how to read them is there a color chart i can use for my install?

 

there are 4 differnt harness behind the stock radio. Look for the harness with 4 wires, thats the steering wheel control harness. I put the resistors on a small board and solder it on to the board, and i solder the wires onto it.

 

does the gold end of the resistors go to the white wire or is it the other way around
