2 green
1 grey
1brown-white
1yellow-black
1blue - white
1pink
1orange-black
1black
1brown
1white-black
1white
1purple-pink
1pink
The pink is power supply,we know its split, ones goes to fuse, one goes to battery. We know the black is the ground. We need to know which colors go to which speakers.

Go to www.the12volt.com and look up your vehicle there. Great site! Was very helpful for my 98 stereo, alarm, and remote start projects.

When you buy the harness for the jeep to hook up the stero it will tell u exactly what the wires are for, the same color wires like pink and then pink/purple front or back etc are speakers orange/brown is usually ur memory blah blah the one u have is ur stock radio harness i believe...

Well we ended having to make a new ground and make a wire going from the radio to the fuse box. And my memory won't work. I need some help

If the memory is getting dumped every time you shut the ignition off, the most likely problem is that one of the leads to the radio requires power full time to store settings and keep the clock ticking. You've got that lead hooked up a power source that's switched on and off with the ignition.
It wont be the main main power lead to the radio, there will be a second one.

The other possibility is a long shot: the battery back up for the memory in the radio is dead. Its pretty rare for an audio system to have a battery back up so I'd start re-checking your harness hook-ups
