you know for how many people ask for FSM's and what they are, someone should sticky a huge link on the front of the forum with the location. "HERE IS YOUR FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL (FSM) DOWNLOAD THE S.O.B."

Have you looked through the audio section in the FSM? Referencing that with the wiring diagram should get you hooked back up. Sorry I can't be more help, I usually take all that 'stuff' out.
