[QUOTE="KC54, post: 6721131, member: 620185"] Well I recently bought a Dual 60w radio for my 2000 Pontiac Sunfire. The main problem to being with was that my previous stock system was stolen and the thieves took the harness with them. So I tried to straight wire everything which seemed pretty logical up to the point that I forgot to unhook my negative cable on my battery. I blew the radio fuse in my car but I replaced it and the fuse on the 12v+ wire on my radio harness didnt seemed harmed but I changed it with the extra that came with my radio. So I tried again, I unhooked the negative battery cable this time too, but for some reason, when I get everything hooked up now, I get no response from my radio. I made sure all of my wires weren't touching and everything but I'm still getting nothing. Is there any ideas from anyone who might know how I can get this thing going? Heres one more thing..... This is the wiring for a 2000 sunfire..... 2000 Pontiac Sunfire Stereo Wiring Constant 12V+ Orange Switched 12V+ Yellow Ground Black Illumination Gray Dimmer Brown Antenna Trigger Pink Left Front (+) Tan Left Front (-) Gray Right Front (+) Light Green Right Front (-) Dark Green Left Rear (+) Brown Left Rear (-) Yellow Right Rear (+) Dark Blue Right Rear (-) Light Blue Now the problem is that my car doesnt have a pink wire..... it has a purple but I dont know if thats the same function that it does.....I have two black wires, one is thicker than the other tho, so I dont know which is ground......and I don't know which gray wire is which so everything is just got me frustrated with this one...so someone please help.[IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
