i just had to leave my accord for a peice of doodie 95 taurus, so my boyfriend is outside trying to hook my cd player & speakers from the honda up to it.. he doesnt know what hes doing(but will NOT admit it) & hes just touching all the wires to diff ones, sort of trial & error like, because all the wiring charts we read on here were wrong for the taurus. will that ruin the cd player? he swears theyre hooked up right but it wont come on :[ i cant drive without a radio plz help!
Are the wires still intact (did he cut off the factory plug)? If not (or even if he did, but still has enough length to reconnect the factory plug), go to the parts store or WalMart and pick up a harness for the car. You can wire that directly to the radio connecting color to color, then it will plug right in.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.
If he cut the plug off and is touching random wires together, chances are he already blew one or more fuses and it won't work until those are replaced. From the sounds of it I would probably cut your losses and get it done right. Also it is definately possible for him to damage the cd player by not hooking it up correctly. Here's the info I'm showing for that car, same as what this site shows in the vehicle wiring database:
