I am trying to install a new stereo in my 2000 Ford Explorer. Every stereo wiring diagram that I have found online either doesn't show enough wires or doesn't have the right colors. I am trying to find out what the following wire colors are for:

Green/Purple
Yellow/Black
Grey/Blue
Yellow/Brown
Green/Orange
Blue/White
Black/Green
Red/Black
Black
Red/Black
Green/Black
Orange/Red
Purple/Blue
White/Green
Green/Orange

We have found that the green and purple one is the Battery, the Red/Black is accessory and the other black/red is illumination, but what are the other ones?
 
Why have you not purchased a wiring harness? It matches all the colors to your aftermarket cd player harness.

Go down to wire harness

Or, these should be your colors in case you have no factory harness for some reason.
