Default Radio help

Bought a new radio and the adapters from BestBuy, I'm very lost as how to wire this thing up, anyone know where I can get a color diagram or anyone else who has done this before?

There are 9 wires

1 white/green
1 orange/green
1 orange/black
1 green/yellow
1 blue/(red or brown)
1 yellow black

I have no idea what any of the wires stand for and I can't find anything on this 1991 Ford custom

Am I forgetting like a...."turn on" wire I need to short out or anything?

It is all connected properly by the way it looks in the link and twisty capped up. I just don't know what to do anymore.

Try the constant 12 volt and ground to see it it comes on if the switched 12volt isn't working.
If you have a light tester check your power, you might have a blown fuse if those wires were just hanging out
