Okay....I'm new to the J-Bodies. I got me a 1990 Sunbird....with the old cAssette player by the Ashtray....and the square radio up top. I cut a spot out for my cd deck, and tried wiriring it up from the harness that was attached to the Cassette deck....nuthing....then I pulled out the Square stereo faceplate....and used those wires....still nuthing. I've got 8 speaker wires on my aftermarket deck. (1 Pos & 1 grnd for each channel) and I can only find 4 speaker looking wires in the harness....and those won't make any sounds.

Someone please help....I need music!

you will need a testlight and find all the good wires(<my way) or a wiring harness(<good way)

Both the cassette deck and the square radio are plugged into a steel box up inside the dashboard. There's yet another connector on this steel box, pull it out, plug it into a wiring harness adapter for your car (available at most places that carry car stereos), and wire that up to the deck.

exactly what he said. that metal box in you dash is like the control center for the radio. get the harness and you will be all set.

ok heres what you do. buy an aftermarket wireing harness and get it connecte to the harness for the cd player. in the dash behind the radio will be a metal box. there i a connector in the top right corner of that box. unplug that connector and plug it into the aftermarket wireing harness you bought. good luck getting that plug out. it's a a pain in da butt!
