I bought my cavalier and go to put in a new radio and previous owner cut the plug off. I have searched for a wiring diagram and cannot find anything. Would somebody with the knowledge of each wire and colors please help me?
my advice would be to buy a haynes manual. it has detailed diagrams of all the electrical systems. plus you can be sure you're getting things wired right

thanks man that is exactly what i was looking for i guess in my rush i looked over that. thanks again
ok...left there is:
two blacks a smaller one and a larger one

IIRC if you have a 2000+ J, you need to run a seperate power wire to the ignition, as they lack the seperate 12V wire for aftermarket radio compatibility.
