Installed new car stereo in 97 Chev S-10, There were no adapter kits available so I used a multi meter to configure power, ground, speakers, stereo lights, etc. It worked fine when I turned on the key. When I turn on the lights the stereo dies. Could this be a grounding wire problem ? Does anyone have a easy fix for this ?

Hi!
Uhm...yes, there most definitely *are*. Scosche and Metra Electronics *both* have wiring adapter kits for 1997 S-10s. It's better to wait and get the proper adapter than it is to cut into the factory wiring.
Are you sure your stereo does in fact have a "light" connector? Very few of them do. I have a strong feeling that this should be disconnected because it isn't used.

Thank you for the correct wiring. Is this for all GM trucks ?
Pretty much all GM vehicles that are not connected to the data buss.
