Hello everyone, couple quick questions.
I bought a 94 Pontiac Grand Prix a while ago, and the stock radio was removed from it and the prior wiring harness cut. Other than that, the car was a great deal.
I've got the original wiring harness from the car, but never got around to wiring it back up to the original wiring, as there are a few duplicate colored wires with no discernable markings to tell them apart.
I just decided to purchase an aftermarket deck for it, and would like to know how I should go about taking care of this.
So...
1) I've looked all over the internet for a wiring guide for that make, model, and year. I've found some generic GM guides, but these don't have all the multiple colors my wire setup has. Anyone have a wiring diagram for the car?
2) How do I tell the similarly colored wires apart? (There's a couple yellows, a couple light greens, a couple dark greens, etc.) I've heard of ways to test wires with a voltmeter and a battery, should I do that?
3) Should I even attempt to wire on the old brick, or just identify the wires and wire them straight to the new deck?
Thanks ahead of time!
