turner + 3 wiring

[Oldtimer]

I have saw the wiring for a Turner + 3 to a Cobra 25.
When I wire it up as stated and I plug it in the radio I get
a loud hum and the needle pegs to the right.
Here is the way I wired it up.
1-sh/red
2-white
3-blue
4-black
Any suggestions?
It's not the radio cause I tried it on my other Cobra 25 which is brand new.
Thanks

That is the correct wiring for that mic/radio combo, check for short circuit in the mic connector area meaning where you soldered in the connector, very small wires are hard to see sometimes.

Yupp all it takes is one tiny little strand you cant see and theres a problem

This is from the Turner Wiring Handbook-

1-shield
2-white
3-black
4-red

I was wondering about the shield being connected to the red or transmit.

That's the same as my super sidekick (I looked inside) and I assume they like many other manufactures used different mic cords with different color wires.

The Sidekick and +3 have the same wiring color code

Here is a copy of the Turner Microphone Wiring Handbook

He has a blue wire, post factory cord?

There is a switch on the bottom of the mic electronic/relay, put it in electronic position.

There is a conversion in the handbook ( changing use of wires when using a 6 wire Turner for a 4 wire radio )that tells you to use the black wire in place of the blue and the red wire in the place that black would normally be when using a 6 wire.

Not sure if someone put a Turner 6 wire cord on it. My Turner CS-1 is a 6 wire.

Another neat thing in the Handbook is how to convert the Sidekick , +2 and +3 for VOX operation .
