Okay so I know which wires are which on my stock wiring harnesses I had 2 plugs one was for the external 6 disc CD player but I need help making sure I'm connecting ththe right ones to the after market wire colors cuz they are worded differently and messes me up .but ever since I did this um I can start the truck with the head lights and dimmer switch which kinda plays in favor for me cuz of ignition problems but I cant have my dimmer lights brighter in the dash while my head lights are on or it trys to restart the truck when its already starte. I also know that if I hook the brown wire up it makes my speedometer quit working I'm assuming that's supposed to go to the thing where u speed up and the stock stereo get louder but anyone of the wires on after market I hook it to makes it quit so I just need help decoding all the factory wires to coincide with after market radio wiring plz help
