Answer
Mike,

  ok it sounds like you have made the first huge mistake which is cutting the factory plug off .. if you did try to wire it back on color for color and go to radio shack or even wal-mart and buy a wire harness adapter its abotu 10 bucks and it will match up color for color to your new cd player then simply plug into the factory plug so you dont have to guess at the wires ! much easier and it keeps things neat and pro looking .. now if you cant wire it back on .. and i'm sure you cant because the wires are pretty tight i own a 2001 S10 xtreme and a 98 blazer so i'm avide at the installs i have a wire schematic str8 from a haynes repair manual that should get you through this problem its www.geocities.com/evilparadise02/stereo.html
its at the top download it you will need an acrobat reader to view it but its a full diagram of all the wires and colors .. hope this helps you out if you need anything else let me know

thanks
