Hey Gang! I have a 1992 Pontiac Bonneville and I am trying to Wire a CD player into it.
The issue I am having is that
I need to connect the "Switched" on the stereo (red wire) to the switched on the Car (yellow wire) however, there are 2 yellow wires.
I need to connect the "Right front -" on the stereo (Grey wire black stripe) to the right front - on the car (dark green cable) However, there are 3 dark green cables.
I need to connect the "Right front +" on the stero (grey cable) to the Right front + on the car (light Green Cable) however, there are 2 light green cables.
I need to connect the "left front -" on the stereo (Green cable black stripe) to the left front - on the car (Grey Cable) however, there are 2 Grey cables one of which is probably the illumination. How do I determine which cable to use. There is no writing on the cables coming out of the car! Please help!
The Wiring for My car (according to 12 volt) is this
Constant 12V+ Orange
Switched 12V+ Yellow
Ground Black
Illumination Gray
Dimmer Brown
Antenna Trigger Pink
Antenna Right Rear
Front Speakers 4" x 6" Doors
Left Front (+) Tan
Left Front (-) Gray
Right Front (+) Light Green
Right Front (-) Dark Green
Rear Speakers 6" x 9" Rear Deck
Left Rear (+) Brown
Left Rear (-) Yellow
Right Rear (+) Dark Blue
Right Rear (-) Light Blue
The Diagram for my CD player is
Green: left front +
GREEN/ black: left front -
Gray: right front +
Gray/black: right front -
GREEN/ red: left rear +
BLACK/ green: left rear -
Gray/red: right rear +
BLACK/ gray: right rear -
Orange: constant 12v+
Red: switched 12v+
Black: ground
Blue: control output for amp or power antenna

Use an ohm meter. With it conected to the light green wire and the appropriate dark green wire, the meter should read around 8 ohms.

I guess I'll have to go purchase one. Also I was under the impression I needed to wire this with the battery disconnected. Will this work with the battery disconnected? Does this work on all wires mentioned?
Thanks!

The Ohm meter will do what you need to do without the Car's battery connected.
