So I’m having issues with my stock stereo. Does anyone have a photo of the main harness leading into the back of their cassette player? 90-91 Taurus with JBL

The previous owner had an aftermarket CD player which I’m in the process of putting the stock Cassette Player back in and eventually a slave CD player (not right now). I already have have the premium Cassette player that I installed. It works fine until I turn on the parking lights or headlights. However, if I dim the interior lights all the way down, then the radio comes back on and starts playing. I pulled the radio back out and noticed the chassis ground was cut. (Not a big deal, I can fix that) However, I am pulling diagrams for the harness that plugs into the back of the radio (and yes I’m looking up the diagrams for the premium radio). None of the diagrams match the placement of the wires I have. Does anyone happen to have a photo of the plug leading into the back of their Cassette players. I need one for reference to see if any other wires were switched or modified. This is mine for reference.
