Question:

How do I install a cd player if I don't have any wiring harness?

I have a 1987 toyota pickup and When I tried following the color-code diagrahm I found online I crossed two wires and had a major melt down. I took a few hours and seperated all the witres that were melted together, and now I don't have a cig lighter or center clock. I'm pretty sure I won't be able to hook my CD player up to the ignition system, unless someone knows something I don' (pretty likely in this field). If I can't do it that way, is there a way to wire it straight to something else that is always on when the truck is running and off when it is off, or should I run it straight from the battery? Also, what would be the proper way of doing that? Thanks for looking and hopefully you can give me advice, or direct me to someone who can.

take the red wire ( usually it,s the hot wire ) and run it to a hot source like the battery then run the black wire to the grounds somewhere. now just run the ground and hot wires from the right speaker to the radio wires and touch them until the right speaker plays and do the same for the left speaker.
