97 Bonneville Won't Start After Installing Aftermarket Radio

[1997bonneville]

I purchased a 97 Bonneville SSE about a month ago, it had a Delco radio setting in the hole but was not hooked up (the harness had been cut). I purchased an aftermarket radio and hooked it up to the radio wires that where there. Constant Power to the Orange, Switched Power to the Yellow, Ran a Ground to metal, and a green appears to be the antenna. Radio works great, comes on with switch stays on until door is opened. Only problem is the car will not crank over at all. It is like the computer has locked out the starter. Looked for blown fuses, seen none nowhere in the three fuse boxes. The car says Bose System on the dash and there was a plug that ran from other radio wires that where still in there plug (don't no what they controlled) that ran to another plug that all the speaker wire had been cut from, I assumed this was the Bose amp plug, being it was all disconnected when I got the car and it started fine I cut the plug off for the Bose amp and taped the ends. Really didn't see what difference it would make being none of it was plugged into anything. I still have another plug that has three wires in it that I have no ideal what they control, I am thinking maybe one of them goes to the computer and should be hooked up but I have no ideal which one or where to hook it.
Any ideals?

if you have the ignition switch turned on and the radio turns off when you open the door then you your wiring is off. i'd check the voltage and amps on your battery to be sure your battery is bad.

Actually, he is describing the proper operation of the system. If you turn on the power with the doors closed, then turn off the power (ie: remove the key), the power stays on in the car for approx 10 mins. If you open a door during that time, it will cut the interior power.

Definitely find a place for those extra wires - I'd venture to say that is your problem.

The three wires that where left are another ground, the steering wheel radio controls and the wire to the data bus, they hooked up to the original Delco Bose system. Put the car in the shop and it didn't have any thing to do with the radio, it was a receptor between the Passkey and the computer that had gone bad. Most likely went when it did because I was turning the switch on/off over and over testing the wires and radio. Felt good to tell the wife it had nothing to do with my wiring. Bahahah! Thanks for the help anyways.
