Need AMFM Wire Connection Help Please

Hey members, I need help with hooking up my AMFM. I remember seeing a post earlier on wiring connections for AMFM. I did search but could not find it.
I have radio harness with red wire, black wire and green wire.
I assume red is power supply and black and green wires go to speaker. There is also a blue wire, with plug, that comes out of radio. I am not sure about the blue wire.
Can someone help me please?
Thanks in advance.

...Dan

hmmm, did the radio come out of a truck, Im thinking it could be power antenna, if it was out of a caddy or something, I cant really think of what it could be, unless it is a ground strap, Does it look original?

Hey Hooter/cochino12, thanks for the response.
It is a van radio. I may try one of the local Chevy dealer's
for advice.
I will keep you in the loop.

If it came out of a van, it might be for an optional rear speaker.

Everything Works

Hey everybody, I got it installed. I left the blue wire disconnected. Everything works, including the back light.
I guess the blue wire is optional.
Thanks for your help.
