Wiring problems

Okay guys, this is a question for all you installation wizards. I installed an HU, amp and subs last night and have run into 2 problems. First is that except from my subs I get no sound unless I toggle the running lights off or on. I'm sure this has something to do with the front ECU (taillight relay) wire but I have no idea where to connect it to my deck. Second is, I've checked all my connections but I'm not getting any sound from my rear left speaker. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

used the harness from the HU, but there were 3 wires (coming out of my dash) that I had no idea where to put them. And yeah everything is grounded.

the ant wire is a ground onec you plug it into your stero it is grounded if you got a aftermarket harness the digram it came with will let you conect it to your head unit then you simply plug it into the harness that came off the stock unit. circit city sells the harness for about $20. hope i was able to help

I grounded my HU to the bolts behind the HU. Just added an extra nut and stuck the ground between. If your left speaker ain't working check the diagram make sure your wires are crimped correctly and aren't loose. Remember the black or white stripe is negative.
