Other than the 8 speaker wires, there should be another group of 3. They originally went into the same gray harness plug but that is long gone.
The original 3 wire group was:
Yellow - switched power (hot only with ignition switch in RUN)
Black - just a normal ground lead
Gray - radio backlighting (part of the instrument panel circuit and controlled by the H/L dimmer switch)
he has grey hooked to green with black stripe
WTF - on an aftermarket head unit, green/ black is the LR negative speaker wire!
Anyway, that gray wire needs to be cut and wrapped with tape. But before you wrap it, strip the insulation off and check it for voltage. It is supposed to vary smoothly from 0 - 9 VDC as you twist the dimmer on the H/L switch. But don't be surprised if it just jumps from 0 right up to 9 volts at a certain point.
This is normal if a large number of the bulbs in the dash illumination circuit are burnt out. If you have gauges, there was originally a total of 7 bulbs in that circuit:
5 lamps behind the instrument cluster
1 lamp in the HVAC control panel
1 for radio backlighting
If you are down to say 3 bulbs, the dimmer won't smoothly increase the voltage as designed. It will put out an all-or-nothing power supply.
Back to the gray wire:
If you have voltage at that wire and no dash backlighting - the bulbs are burnt out.
If there is no voltage, we will have to look at the dimmer switch or the interconnecting wiring.
