Question

the factory hookup in the car have been cut and i don't now how to match the wiring by color.

Answer 1

I'll give you the wiring color code, but you should be aware that some of the wire colors are used more than once for different functions. If you have a digital multimeter, I'll tell you how to test each wire to make sure of its function.

Ground--black or black/white (shows continuity with outer ring on cigarette lighter; doesn't change when lights are switched on)
Constant power--orange (shows 12v regardless of key position)
Switched power--yellow (12v with key in ACC position, 0v in OFF position)
Dimmer--gray (shows voltage with parking lights on, 0v when off; varies with dimmer switch position)
Illumination--brown or brown/white (12v with parking lights on, 0v when off, no variance with dimmer switch)
Left front speaker (+) -- tan
Left front speaker (-) -- gray
(Speaker wire pairs will show continuity with each other, and a resistance reading under 10 ohms)
Right front speaker (+) -- light green
Right front speaker (-) -- dark green
Left rear speaker (+) -- brown
Left rear speaker (-) -- yellow
Right rear speaker (+) -- dark blue
Right rear speaker (-) -- light blue

Be aware that if the wires are cut, you may have blown fuses in your vehicle fuse box. These will need to be replaced before the wires can be tested or the new radio will work.
