Hi
I hope someone can help me out. I have a 1998 Pontiac Sunbird that I am trying to put a Pioneer DEH-43 CD-Player into. I have the wiring harness that plugs into the factory harness. I can get power but I cannot get the speakers to work. I have looked all over for a wiring diagram with no luck. If anyone could tell me the wiring scheme for the speakers I sure would appreciate it. Thanks to All

Post the wire colors of the cd players harness. Did the factory radio work? Are there speakers in the car? If this is a used cd player, there is a chance that the output IC is toast and needs to be serviced.

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

I will have to get the wiring hareness from my son to post the colors of the wires. Yes the factory radio/cassette player works. There are speakers in the car and they do work. The CD Player also works as it was just pulled out of another vehicle and it was working. I will try to get the colors Sunday afternoon.
