    Positive Wire?

    So after buying my Honda, being told it was an 88, finding out its an 86, returning all the parts we'd already bought, and replacing the master cylinder, front driver axle, alternator, water pump, and a complete tune-up...we are now having a problem with one of the interior products...the radio...we can't find the positive wire to hook it up and we're lost on what to do. I've been told to run a wire from the battery through the dash and to the radio...I'm new to the thread also so just some advice on everything. I'm used to working on a '92 blazer with a 4.3v6 and a lot of room...not a tiny car...so a little frustrated. lol help?

    wire colors will be as follows:
    Code:
    function ............................color/stripe
    
    12v constant .....................white/yellow
    12v accesory .....................yellow/red
    12v ground ........................black
    dimmer (lights) ...................red/black
    
    Left front (+) .................... Blue/Green
    Left front (-) .................... Grey/Black
    Right front (+) .................. Red/Green
    Right front (-) .................. Brown/Black
    Left rear (+) ..................... Blue/Yellow
    Left rear (-) ..................... Grey/White
    Right rear (+) ................... Red/Yellow
    Right rear (-) ................... Brown/White
    if that doesn't work, you've probably got a blown fuse somewhere

    The fuse for constant is in the underhood fusebox. It is 7.5A
