Normally yellow goes to ignition switch. You should have 2 positive wires, 1 hot at all times for clock and presets memory (orange) and 1 from ignition switch (yellow)if you use multimeter for voltage (negative to ground) you can find the positive wires (will need switch in on/accessory to find the one going to ignition) from there you can use resistance on the other yellow and find the brown wire that connects to the speaker (back left)

Check with the radio manufacturer for a wiring diagram.

I dont believe it connects to either, it sounds like you have a wire hiding in the stereo compartment somewhere
