From: I'm lost

[Hunter844 0]

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Forgive me...I'm not very knowledgeable about this stuff.

I have a 2001 Chevy S10 ZR2 (4X4)

I ordered off Crutchfield and they sent me my new Sony Digital Media player and a wire adapter kit.

The problem is it appears to be the wrong adapter. Crutchfield only has one option for my year and make and it's that one

My GM factory plug looks like this...

Next part. I start to drive off without the original factory stereo plugged in and got about a mile down the road before it started dieing on me. I deduced that this truck must have some kind of security protection (I have no clue) so I'm able to get it started again and limp it on home with it dieing a few times on the way. Mind you prior to this the truck had no issues leading to stalling out or anything like that.

I get back and plug the factory radio back in and it runs fine. Well none of this stuff was explained to me so I'm lost as a goose as to how to over come this. In order to further test this theory out I decide to set out again in hopes of finding a wiring harness...no luck but the truck ran great with the factory radio plugged in.

I've emailed Crutchfield and sent them basically the same information and await their response. Really I'd like to find what ever the remedy is here locally instead of having to wait on something to ship in. So far I haven't found anything that looks like it fits my factory plug so I don't know what to do. The factory plug has 15 wires, the new Sony radio has 15 wires, the crutchfield adapter has 13 wires.
