James, the wire you are referring to (should be black in color) is the “A” lead (the 12V power lead) and it connects to the radio terminal in the fuse block. IF the 64 fuse block is the same as 63 the radio terminal is closest to the radio/center console and in front (towards the seats). It is easiest to access from the top via the space where the speaker fits in the dash. There should be a plastic cover on top of the fuse box that snaps on; just remove that and you can see where the wire connects with a spade terminal. But to do that you must move the radio to the side or a bit sideways first, by removing the nut from the radio mounting bracket on the underside of the radio, access from under the dash. Also remove the radio knobs and nuts on the front. See the FSM. After disconnecting the A lead, dial light, antenna cable, and speaker (you already did that) you can turn the radio 90 degrees (sideways) to remove it through the speaker opening in the dash. Carl From: 'James Douglas' via Chrysler 300 Club International Hi All, We have had a break in the rain here in San Francisco. I decided to pull the dash here, rather than up at my place with more, now I have can of worms. I wanted to replace the circuit boards on the cluster with the new manufacture ones I pickup off of eBay. I took out the speaker as I want to look at the wiper assembly and to check the ventilator door. Turn out the vent door screw are loose and so the door is not operating as it should. The screws on the door vacuum bracket angle down and there is no way to get a screwdriver on there, I did try an angle one, with the radio in. So, I go to pull the radio and it will not come out. AM. There is a wire that does not have a disconnect and it looks like it is going into the back of the fuse box. Why the hell would the factory hard wire that in? In any event, do I have to pry the plastic off the back of the fuse box to see if there is a connector in there or is it better to just cut the wire and plan on creating a wire coupling. I have about an hour or so of light left. If anyone is reading this now (17:13 hours pacific) and can advise, please do…thanks.
