When I pulled my deck out of the dash a I broke a couple of wires and forgot which wires go where. I have three ground wires comming off the car wiring harness and off the deck I got the ground and the accessory yellow and power which is red. If Some one could tell me the basic how these wires hook up that would be great. I hooked it up the first time it just took me a couple of hours I had the same problem but forget what I did thanks!!

Cut the factory harness. Its a 91 pontiac firefly which is the same as a chevy sprint geo/metro. I actually have 2 black wires off the car wiring harness then off the deck battery acessory and a black wire which is the ground. Just not 100% sure how to wire these wires up.

the only info i could find is this:

Constant 12V+	White
Switched 12V+	WHITE/ Black
Ground	Black
Illumination	RED / Yellow

In the future, please don't hack anymore cars, spend a few $ and get a wire harness adaptor.
