Hello, I'm new here and have a question about the stereo wiring in my 1992 Lumina sedan. I looked in the VID on this site and found the color codes for the stereo wiring. My problem is this. It lists a few different wire colors that in my car I have a couple wires all the same color. There's like a couple different wires that are all brown, a couple tan etc.. On the ones that I have several wires the same color, do I hook them all up together? It's confusing the hell out of me. Also there is one brown wire with a white stripe. It isn't listed as to what this wire goes to. Any help would be appreciated here. Thanks, John

you should have 2 blue wires a light and dark, brown and yellow,a light green and dark green,and a tan the blue wires(light and dark) and grey.all those wires are your speakers wires just like that.if you take a 9 volt battery and put them on the blue wires(light and dark)you can find out the polarity of the speaker.same with the green wires,tan and greywires,and the brown and yellow wire.

Okay cool. I used a 9 volt. I figured out which wires go to what speakers and hooked them all up to my stereo. Everything turned on fine and the CD started playing but no sound came through the speakers. I checked the fuses and two had blown. I replaced those and tried to turn the stereo on again and still no sound. I have no clue why I'm not hearing anything from the stereo. It worked fine when I took it out of my Cavalier the day I bought the Lumina so it didn't sit around or anything. Thanks for the help guys and if you know any reason this would be happening it would be greatly appreciated.
