Previous owner butchered the radio wiring and even cut the factory connector off. I bought a new one and have almost everything wired up but I have two dark green wires and a green with white stripe wire left. One of the dark green wires I know is for a speaker (right front positive I think? Can't remember) but where do the other 2 go? One of the wiring diagrams I looked at shows the green/white as part of the cruise control/vehicle speed wiring They also removed all of the speakers so I can't test by sound lol. Thanks in advance.

Edit: 95 K1500 as base model as you can get

Radio wiring is all the same between 95-02, heck maybe even 88-02.. One is the VSS sig as you mentioned, for speed-compensated volume control equipped radios. The other is a serial data line that goes down to your OBDII connector. No real use for it tbh. Here's a diagram of the complete system, so you can get it put back the way it should be :)

"FUSE OUT" is the backlighting dimmer signal. If yours doesn't have the remote CD or Tape deck (under the HVAC controller) don't worry about the bottom wires (Tape Ctrl onwards)
