Question:

Factory wire harness cut!?

I purchased a 2002 Pontiac Grand am a few days ago. Not to my surprise the Factory radio in it did not work. So I took off the front panel to see what the problem was, and shockingly someone had cut the main harness off and took electrical tape and taped all of the wires in a big tangled mess. I found a color code diagram for the car but none of them seem to match the colors in my car. Luckily I was looking on OKorder and found this Factory Radio OEM Reverse Male Wire Wiring Harness 14 for 2002 GMC. Is this what I need to get so that I can hook these dangling wires up to, get me a new radio and an wire harness adapter so that I can finally jam out in my new ride?

Answer:

Try a local salvage yard, you can cut off the connector end of a harness and all you have to do is match up the wires since they will be color coded the same.
Yes you'll need a new harness so that you can get the connector and splice it on to the old harness.
Pics would help. Might be smart to take to it to best buy and ask them or have a mechanic check it out.
