I bought a wiring harness and in dash install kit for my 2006 silverado 1500 crew cab. I went to install the aftermarket stereo and the wiring harness only had one plug in while the stock radio had 2 different plug ins. just wondering. if anyone knows how i can still install the aftermarket stereo in.

the best way to go about this is to buy the wiring harness adaptor for your car. it plugs into your factory wiring plug, and the wires from the harness adaptor are color-coded to match the colored wires on your stereo. just match them, splice them, and your done.
If you already cut the harness, then I reccommend reattatching the wires that you cut, and just getting the wiring harness adaptor. trust me, for only like ten or fifteen bucks, it will save you alot of hassle. if thats not an option, then the best thing to do would be to get a digital volt/ohm meter. use that to find your constant, switched, and ground. you can also check for continuity to find speaker wires. you can pick one up at an auto parts store for fairly cheap. if you need more info on how to use the meter, and what to check for, then contact me through this site, or repost. ill be glad to clarify anything for you. good luck...
