My idiot self decided to cut my stock radio connector off to put my aftermarket cd player plug on. After looking for a minute, I noticed that there are wires that are the same color! I am very confused and should have never cut the plug off. Anyone have a chart or picture of what the colors represent? I need to get this done today as I am getting a temp tag for her and my dad wants to drive her to work.

Also, Pat told me how to tap from the radio harness to the amp harness to power the amp. Am I gonna tap into the amp harness or cut the wire coming into the amp, cap that off and use the one coming in from the radio harness?

No you definitely shouldn't have cut it...you need a GM wire harness adapter ($10) so that you can save the plug if you ever put the stock radio back in.

I have NC about the amp question.

Well, I am gonna put the stock plug back on, but now i need the diagram to see if all the light greens are grounds, and the others. I asked on 3 different Audio forums and got no luck. :(

I'm pretty sure he'* saying that the factory wiring has several different wires of the same color, so he doesn't know which wires they should connect to on the stock connector.

As I remember, some of them are resistance for steering controls etc. You need an FSM.

Hmm nope. That diagram doesn't have the harness for the steering wheel controls.
