I'll look in my 90 manual later and report back. It isnt too hard, once you know what to look for.

Jeremy, here is a list of factory wiring colors...your's should be the same or close to it. Chrysler/Dodge has not changed these colors in years. However, some of the imports may have deviated.
To check speaker polarity (assuming you don't have a polarity tester): Touch (for a very short period of time) one wire to the positive side of a 1.5-volt battery (any size), and the other wire to the negative side. If speaker "pops out", then polarity is correct. If speaker "pops in" then polarity is reversed.

Good luck!

P o w e r
Memory (+12v Constant) Red/White
Ignition (+12v Switched) Red
Ground (-) Black or Braided Silver Wire
Illumination Orange
Dimmer (none)
Power Antenna Yellow
S p e a k e r s
Right Front (+) Violet
Right Front (-) Blue/Red
Left Front (+) Green
Left Front (-) Brown/Red
Right Rear (+) Blue/White
Right Rear (-) Blue/Red
Left Rear (+) Brown/Yellow
Left Rear (-) Brown/Red
