Suggest obtain the shop manual for your model and turn to the wiring diagram pages.
If you still have problems, find a 12 volt circuit and use that to splice in your aftermarket stereo. Be sure the circuit is through your ignition/accessories switch. Also be sure to use an in-line fuse to prevent shorting issues.
In worst case scenario you can inspect the back of your speakers and find the color of the wires and use that info to connect your aftermarket stereo. Be sure that the impedance of your speakers matches the wattage and impedance of your aftermarket stereo. A good volt/ohm meter is handy for this task. Good luck.

Looking for a wire diagram to hook up a aftermarket sterio from factory on a 2001 chev malibu

In this car you will need an stereo adapter. Some functions of the cars warning system are in the radio. You use this adapter to replace the factory radio. The adapter facilitates replacement of a factory radio while retaining all factory safety warning chimes and audible turn signal indicators. These adapters are compatible with amplified and non-amplified audio systems. Will retain all safety warning chimes. See this web site for more info. Autosound Central. With the right adapter you do not need a wiring diagram. It will be plug and play.

2002 ford taurus stereo stolen

This may not help as I don't know what color it is, but along with your Power - Accessory wires theres a couple more wires that needs to be hooked to power for the above accessories to work, so I suggest if you havent done so already to hook those wires up and endcap them. You can check which ones are power wires by using a voltometer on them. I had your similar problem and my soultion fixed it.
