You got it exactly. I found the wire by feeling. It was buried so deeply that I couldn't see it from anywhere. Thanks to you and jazzymt for the help. Project complete. I am one happy guy.

I suspect that the problem is that the radio antenna connector came unclipped. I won't know for sure until I pull out the radio again, but I was looking for something like that and I'm pretty sure I found the place where it should have been clipped. In case I am right, any suggestions on how to raise the connector from the bowels of the console? Any idea from where the antenna wire enters the console? I searched for a loose wire before and found nothing.

Success! I worried mostly about removing the radio, but the instructions are outstanding. I had only two small problems: (1) I dropped one of the 6 screws that hold in the radio. It's gone forever. (2) I could not find the wire from the antenna to connect to the one hanging out the back of the radio. Weird. I probably spent half an hour searching with a flashlight and feeling around in the console. I fear that I was staring at it all the time, but I just could not see it. Anyway, I'm thinking that I will be listening to my player for a while, so I won't need FM. Thanks for a great kit and great instructions.
