My first time trying to wire a stereo up. its in a 2003 Chevy silverado and I'm installing a new Alpine cd player. From the diagram, I have installed speakers correctly. And I believe I have hooked up power and ground up correctly but still no power. I have DVOM the power and I do have power and I have run a test light to see if my ground was good and the light lit up. So I'm guessing ground is good. But when I turn cd on, i still get nothing. There is a couple wires i have questions about though. It is from the wiring harness. It is a red wire that says it is suspose to go to ignition and then an orange wire that says it's an "illumination" light. DO i need to hook these up and to what if I do. Also, from the truck wiring harness there is a smaller orange cable. I looked it up on alldatapro and it says its an data connection wire. what the hell is this? Thanks
