OK I'm putting an old radio in a new truck and the wiring harness
had to be slightly different. Bottom line: I've got about 5 extra wires
coming out of the radio. Now one of them powers the panel lights but I
don't
know which one or how much power it needs. How would someone go about
'tickling' the wires with increasing voltage (up to 12 one supposes but
maybe less?) to determine which one controls lighting?


I'd start by looking up the radio model, maybe there is a wiring guide
online.
I have also seen ready made harness adapters in the stores.
