II am installing a cd player into a 95 grand prix se. I have to hardwire the cd player in as the factory harness was cut off. I have all the power hooked up correctly, but I have no sound from my speakers. I used a AA battery to match wire pairs to speakers. My cd player has 4 pairs of wires for speakers, a remote wire, a ground, a constant 12v and switched 12v wire. My car has 4 pairs of wires for the speakers, an illumination and dimmer wire. It also has 2 dark green wires, one of which I've been told is a speaker lead. It has a few other wires that I've been told wont be used for an aftermarket install. Do I need to hook this speaker lead wire up to anything?

Okay, I have that one dark green wire hooked up with its matching speaker wire. All pairs have continuity with about 4 ohms resistance. The cd player is set up right so that sound should come out. Any other ideas as to whats wrong here?

I got sound to come out of the speakers once by switching the headlights on and off a few times but I cant repeat it.

"Speaker lead" means one of the wires going to a speaker. In this case the dark green wire is the negative wire from the passenger door speaker. It will need to be hooked up with the rest of the speaker wires to the new radio's speaker outputs.
