Default wiring a new radio

I'm wiring a new radio in my 95 blazer and being the cheapskate I am I refuse to buy a wiring kit, so much so I even made my own single din instalation kit out of the old radio case lol. anyways what I need to know is does anyone here have posted a wiring digram for the radio? I know power, switch and ground but I would like to use the existing speaker wires and just need a point of reference on which is which.

Somewhere on here is a diagram I just dont remember where. An easy way to find the speakers is to touch each set of wires to a 9volt battery and it will send just enough current to make the speaker tell you which one it is. DO NOT USE ANYTHING BIGGER THAN A 9 VOLT THOUGH, or you might bolw the speaker.

Wow you really should search for stuff before you post a question...... Searcherd wiring diagram and the second post that came up was what you needed...

For Blazers and S-10s (including Bravada, Sonoma, Jimmy, Full-Size) the actual stereo wiring is as follows Constant 12V+ Orange
Switched 12V+ Yellow
Ground Black
Illumination Gray
Dimmer Brown
Antenna Trigger Pink
Antenna Right Front
Front Speakers 4" x 6" Dash
Left Front (+) Tan
Left Front (-) Gray
Right Front (+) Light Green
Right Front (-) Dark Green
Rear Speakers 6" x 9" Side Panels
Left Rear (+) Brown
Left Rear (-) Yellow
Right Rear (+) Dark Blue
Right Rear (-) Light Blue

For 2002 up blazers the wiring is as follows:
Radio 12v orange+radio harness
Radio Ground black-radio harness
Radio Ignition dk. green+radio harness
Radio Illumination gray (dimmer)+radio harness
Factory Amp Turn-on N/A
Power Antenna N/A
LF Speaker +/- tan - gray+,- radio harness
RF Speaker +/- lt. green - dk. green+,- radio harness
LR Speaker +/- brown - yellow+,- radio harness
RR Speaker +/- dk. blue - lt. blue+,- radio harness

Take the time to look for yourself before you waste other peoples time...

well thank you for the info and my appologies for wasting your time, but for future reference if you feel someone is about to make you waste your time your best bet is to not respond at all, automotive Forums are meant to be helpful resources of information given without regression or discord. Again my appologies.

Cool

I know what forums are for. They are for people to learn new things about their vehicles. The reason I responded was so that you didnt repost the same question like alot of people do that join just to get an answer then leave. The thing that earked me was that all you had to do was type WIRING DIAGRAM in the search link and bamm just like that the answer to your question was there. I didnt mean to be rude earlier, had a bad morning, just next time attempt to find the answer yourself before you pass your work on to others. Have a good one bro.
