I have a 99 Cavalier and am trying to put in an  HU and amp. When I went to splice the radio harness I'm left with 4 wires left over after connecting everything else. A thicker brown wire, yellow, grey, and dark green with a stripe and the HU doesn't turn on when I try to reattach the battery and try it.
 
sorry mis read you have 99
 
so you spice the stock wireing harness? cause if so the colors do not match like a after market harness. you then have 2 options go spend the ten buck on a aftermarket one and re connect the stock harness or take a 9 volt battery (or any type)and touch the wirest together to fiqure out which are speakrs and which ones they are. and if you have a meter to locat hot ground and the ignitione wire. i personally would say get the aftermarket harness save you a bunch of time gd luck
