Starting in about 1985, when cars & trucks began to have plastic and fibreglas parts, separate ground wires ran from every electrical part to the "universal" ground wires, that ran all over the vehicle.
Have a knowledgeable mechanic show you these.
God bless your efforts.
the connector is the same on both the old harness and the new pigtail. As long as you orientate the connectors the same way you just match up the wires. let me try to explain it this way. If you hold the old connector so the part that holds the connector to the sensor is facing up. Hold the new connector exactly the same way. cut the left wire on both and connect the new connector wire to the old wiring harness. Then cut the center wire and connect them. then cut the right wire and connect. No wiring diagram needed.
One thing I will add is to stagger the new connections. Meaning do nut cut them at the place. Cut one wire then cut the next about an inch or so further and then cut the next about an inch or so further than that. This will prevent the new connections from potentially shorting to each other and will keep the harness from becoming really bulky with all the but connectors in the same location.
Hello... I will try and help you with your problem. I am assuming that you have cut the factory harness off in the truck? If you have and you can reconnect it, I would recommend doing this and then you can purchase a wire harness adapter and then just match the colors. The benefit in using an adapter harness is the ease of the installation, and the more you change the radio in the truck, the shorter the wires will get. If you do not have the factory harness, or cannot reconnect the old one, here is the hardwire code:

Its simply called the wiring harness, but what it less simple, is sometimes finding them. You might try just to Google the model and put ''wiring harness'' at the end, or try the companies website if available. I have seen some wiring harnesses in places like Pep Boys, but unfortunately, people usually end up buying a new player. Hope this helps and good luck!
You could get a stereo installation kit for your year, make & model, that comes with a pigtail plug that would plug right into the existing harness plug and prevent you from having to hack up your original wiring harness.
