Welcome. In the words of another member, "What are you trying to do?"

What kind of information are you trying to find (stereo, alarm, etc.)? Is this for a key start, or a push button start? Do you have a multimeter and know how to use it? Keep in mind that any information you find should only be used as a guide until you have verified with a meter.

If you haven't read this thread, I would highly recommend it first. It pertains to stereo, but the detailed process explains how to verify wiring with a meter:

Do not cut the harness off of your car. If you have not, and that is an exact diagram of the back of your factory radio, purchase a Metra 70-1761 and call it a day.

I connected the factory radio harness back to the wires from car the once I cut off but now I think dimmer light on the factory radio turns on and off on its own when the head lights are on .I ended up putting the factory radio back on till I figure out the radio installment kit .Once again the dimmer lights are turning off and on on the radio .Does that mean there's a shortage .Please help

Go purchase a metra 70-1761 wiring harness. If your new radio does not have an illumination wire (Orange-White) then no need to fix your illumination issue. If it does have an illumination wire, connect it and see how the new radio reacts. When you turn the lights on the radio should dim a bit.

Hello , I've installed the after market stereo but now my panel fuse keeps blowing .This must mean I have a short ? I solder the 5 wires I clipped off and on the other harness I had I trimmed those and soldered them to the harness of the stereo

If you unplug the new radio does it still blow the panel fuse?

If it does not blow the fuse with the radio unplugged, you may have the green wire of the vehicle connected to the wrong place. Cut it free and insulate it.
