[QUOTE=CathedralCub;1647269][QUOTE=Lacrossedriver;1647266]Here'* the wiring diagram I have: and here'* a link to the webpage: https://www.google.com/search?q=2005...69yzyM&vssid=l

The link you gave us goes to a Google search that ends up like this:



I followed the one that looks like it might be the right one, but you will have to confirm as I can't zoom your cell-phone screengrab enough to trace all of the wires. The one I chose was at this link: https://portal-diagnostov.com/en/202...ring-diagrams/



. . . but this is for a 2008. I have no idea what has changed between 2005 and 2008.
Sorry Yes this is the one. I cut all of these

​​​​​​I disconnected the radio wires and reconnected and the check engine light came on and the car wont start again. I hear a climb on the relay in the fuse box but no dash lights

I got the radio to turn on but no sound to the speakers and the car won't start again.

I figured the no start issue. It'* because I tied the skinny orange wire and the fat orange wire together and it caused the car to not start as soon as I disconnected them from each other it started again. I still don't have sound from my speakers though.

Okay, I think we're going in circles a bit here:



So . . . you cut all of these in this diagram? . . . and are only showing us one plug that has been cut? When I read that you "cut all of these" while you are referring to this diagram, I come to believe that you "cut all of these" like in red in this diagram:




. . . but if that were the case, I believe you would be showing us pictures of more than one connector.

Could you clear this one up for us?

That vehicle uses class 2 data communication to communicate with other modules in the vehicle, the reason you have no sound because you need to turn on the factory amplifier which is controlled by data communication. Another reason why your vehicle might not start could be the fact you could be shorting out the data wire that is connected to the other modules for the vehicle. There is a module sold to keep the class 2 data communication intact, the aftermarket radios can not produce those signals. Your choices would be return to factory and buy the module needed or run all new wires for your radio and run wires from radio to speakers to by pass factory amplifier.

module similar to this to retain data communication.
