I'll make you a deal.
Tell me the part number on top of your engine computer(alias ECM, PCM, ECU)
I'll pull my aftermarket radio out and get the wire colors.

Open the hood.
To the right of the air cleaner box (squeezed between air box and fender)is another smaller box, large wiring harness, and hopefully a white label with part number 56027...

Here is a tease.

Left front+ = Green
Left front- = Brown/red

battery memory = Pink
Antenna = Green/brown

As for Walmart wiring harness, sounds like a good idea, but most used vehicles come with a hack job and large hole where the radio used to be.
Ooops, showing my age, I meant... where the head unit used to be.

And another thing.
How come there is no room in the dashboard to fit the bundle of wires and wiring adapter and new deeper radio?
Why are todays vehicle loaded up with all that stuff behind the dashboard, like heating and air conditioning ducts, plastic hoses and levers, little computers that stop the wheels from locking up (keeping you from making those cool sideways slides in the television commercials), vanity light wiring harness connectors, electric antenna wiring connectors, connectors for the powder your face mirror, two or more fuse boxes, buzzers, connectors for buzzers, cell phone connectors, right side airconditioning controls.

Jeez.

Hell, my 1964 Dodge truck had room for a radio AND a television, the good kind with vacuum tubes.
And it was metal and didn't crack into pieces when you tried changing a lightbulb

Gotta go now, my wife is yelling for me to take my medication

well i looked at the ecm next to the fender and it dont have a sticker but the wires that you were saying sounded like what i have. and i was going to run my own speaker wires but theres no room to run the wires in the dash and as far a the harness adapter the previous owner must have cut the plug on it because its not there now nor has been since i have had it...

Interesting, my 1991 did not have a sticker when it died which led to a round of purchasing various part numbers to find ECM to work.

Left front+ = Green
Left front- = Brown/red
Right front+ = Purple
Right front- = Blue/Red
Left rear+ = Brown/Yellow
Left rear- = Brown/Blue
Right rear+ = Blue/Orange
Right rear- = Blue/White

+ dimmer = Orange/Black
battery memory = Pink
Ignition Blue/Red
Antenna = Green/brown
Illumination Blue/red

I need to recheck the right rear again, my notes are scribbled...
