So Im just settling into my new ride,
finally got the wife to decide on a head unit since the truck didn't come with a radio.

Lucky for me the previous owner cut the plug.... (WHAT!!!)

So now I have a GOB of wires to deal with,
So I began looking at the harness that came with the radio and after doing some Google searches thought I had a grasp on the situation.

the bad is the radio didn't work once I wired everything up, so checked fuses all good....

then I noticed I have some wires left over,
a red with a black stripe and maybe 1 or 2 more.

Does anyone either,

A, have a schematic of the wire harness for the factory radio
B, know how to wire in a new radio
C, know the guy that cut the harness out of my truck so I can punch him in the mouth?
D, All of thee above?

Thanks
Lost somewhere between the dash and seat of my 250screw

Sweet!

So here is what I got using the post so far, including the sweet wire diagram above,

12 volt light green/ Purple
Radio Ground Black/Light Green
Radio Ignition Red/black
Radio Illumination Light Blue/Red
LF Speaker + Orange/Light Green
LF Speaker - Light Blue/White
RF Speaker + White/Light Green
RF Speaker - Green/Orange
LR Speaker + Gray/ Light Blue
LR Speaker - Tan / Yellow
RR Speaker + Orange/Red
RR Speaker - Brown / Pink

How does that sound?
