I purchased a 97 Bonneville SSE about a month ago, it had a Delco radio setting in the hole but was not hooked up (the harness had been cut). I purchased an aftermarket radio and hooked it up to the radio wires that where there. Constant Power to the Orange, Switched Power to the Yellow, Ran a Ground to metal, and a green appears to be the antenna. Radio works great, comes on with switch stays on until door is opened. Only problem is the car will not crank over at all. It is like the computer has locked out the starter. Looked for blown fuses, seen none nowhere in the three fuse boxes. The car says Bose System on the dash and there was a plug that ran from other radio wires that where still in there plug (don't no what they controlled) that ran to another plug that all the speaker wire had been cut from, I assumed this was the Bose amp plug, being it was all disconnected when I got the car and it started fine I cut the plug off for the Bose amp and taped the ends. Really didn't see what difference it would make being none of it was plugged into anything. I still have another plug that has three wires in it that I have no ideal what they control, I am thinking maybe one of them goes to the computer and should be hooked up but I have no ideal which one or where to hook it.
Any ideals?

There is no crank at all, all I get is a click from the relay box and none of the are labeled ignition.

did you try charging the battery?

Life moves pretty fast; if you don't stop and look around once in a while; you could miss it.

Yes the battery is charged, I also took the radio back out and it made no diffence. One of the wires that are left does go to the data bus in the computer, but I have no ideal where or if it should be hooked up.There seems like there should be a starter relay somewhere but I have not located one. That or there is a in-line fuse somewhere and I can't find that either.

The three wires that where left are another ground, the steering wheel radio controls and the wire to the data bus, they hooked up to the original Delco Bose system. Put the car in the shop and it didn't have any thing to do with the radio, it was a receptor between the Passkey and the computer that had gone bad. Most likely went when it did because I was turning the switch on/off over and over testing the wires and radio. Felt good to tell the wife it had nothing to do with my wiring. Bahahah! Thanks for the help anyways.
