And @a.graham52 THANK YOU these diagrams were much easier for me to understand compared to the haynes manual for some reason, you are a lifesaver

Not the orange wire on the Alero, but the orange wire on the radio. If the power wire hits ground, you pop your fuse. If your dimmer light hits ground, it turns off your interior lights but may not pop a fuse.
You get what I'm saying but got the wrong orange wire. I meant the radio side, not on the Alero harness. Sorry for any confusion.
Have you fixed it yet btw?
