Oem Radio installation

oem radio 1 of 6??? or aftermarket.???
nobody can guess what is there or how someone wired it up and yes fuses. yes,
why not check all fuses and not have to rip out the radio to see how some one hacked it in.
32 years ago.
but most times I remove the radio and inspect every inch of wire there to see he EVIDENCE of hacking first.
or get it fixed in a real shop where they touch and see both.

read (you meant main harness to radio sub harness.)
and car may have 5 or more harness for 5 or more very complex radio head end options new,so only the real service manual covers all that for sure,or if lucky 2nd fiddle here.

It appears to be that the radio clock display has malfunctioned, and is due for a replacement radio, which could be an aftermarket or oem radio, maybe found at a junk yard.

Tools required for oem replacement radio, torx keys set.

Before working on the radio or other electronics, disconnect the battery cables with 8mm wrench.

Replacing the oem radio is much easier, if you obtain oem radio, compared to aftermarket radio, due to being direct fit.

The radio is same for 1995 to 1999 Pontiac Sunfire and the Chevy Cavalier, regardless of sub models, such as SE,GT, VL,VLX,Z24. etc.

Parts needed for the the aftermarket radio install :Stereo assembly, stereo wiring harness adapter, radio antenna adapter, and dash install kit.wiring diagram for the wire colors / functions, along with tools, such as torx key set, screwdrivers,wire crimper, wire stripper, double ended wiring connectors, hair dryer.

The oem stereo removal video is for the 2000 to 2005 Sunfire / Cavalier, but are the same or very similar procedures.

Have a nice day.

generic wiring schematics seldom match the OEM wiring as to get the diagram the book publishers have to virtually strip down a vehicle as the diagrams are copy write protected. IN many cases the manufacturers of the vehicles change wiring harness suppliers and the OEM schematics will vary to your vehicle. When in doubt take it to an installer and have them fit it as diy people generally install incorrectly and produce faults in the CPU program

Fig. 1 Starter mounting

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
   
2. Raise the vehicle and support safely.
   
3. Disconnect the wiring from the starter.
   
4. Remove the flywheel shields.
   
5. Remove the starter retaining bolts and remove the starter from the engine.

To install:

1. Position the starter against the engine and install the bolts. Torque to 35 ft. lbs. (47 Nm).
   
2. Connect the starter wiring.
   
3. Install the flywheel shields.
   
4. Lower the vehicle and connect the negative battery cable.
   
5. Check the starter for proper operation.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

I bet you sed the black wire with a tracer stripe (or similar wire) as the ground for the after market radio. The OEM radio uses this wire to dim the light to the radio when you turn the headlamps on. Now it dimmed the dash lights and other stuff totally out. Fasten the aftemarket radio's ground wire to a chassis ground on the dash's metal frame. Don't splice into the OEM dimmer wire. Better yet get a OEM to Aftermarket pigtail that uses your OEM connector. These come with a simple diagram as well.

Don't know if the info will be there but
