Need to know the wires to install a deck for 97

you can buy an adapter the plugs into the factory wiring and the new radio so you don`t cut and butcher the wiring of the car. it covers the wiring for the speakers as well. going by your photo this looks like a bad wiring and splice job.

You can buy a kit with an adapter plug...easiest way to install a new deck.

Watch out when you insert the new deck into the original hole...wires pinch, short out dash, or lighting issues will occur if you are not careful

Have you removed the original connector from you original stereo? If you still have the original connector in place you can get a new connector from the Ford dealer that will plug into your existing wiring and into your new deck. Ford connections are unique to Ford and you need to adapt them for this application.

Take the car and deck to the dealer and tell them what you need. Everything just plugs in and your original amp and speakers in the car will work.

Having said that there was an adapter available at Wal Mart of all places that did work. You may want to check there.

If you have removed the original connector then you need a wiring diagram.

The amp is located under the rear passenger side window. You need to remove the plastic side wall to expose it if you need access there. You can trace the wiring if needed.

Under the front bottom edge of the rear seat are clips holding the seat in place. Open the clips and the seat lifts off. You can then get to the amp as needed.

Go to Best Buy and purchase the the radio install pigtail approx. $20 this is the easiest and safest way for DIY install.

you can go to radio shack or a place that sells stereo equipment and get an installation kit and I hope he did not cut the plugs off the old radio because it would be easy all you would have to do is plug in your installation kit to your old plugs and it will tell you which wire goes where most kits are around $15.00

I could go outside and pop my dash apart real quick and tell you.Its real easy to take it off and pull the cd player and radio right out.Is your wiring harness missing or something?Is that why you need to know what it looks like?

your installing an aftermarket cd player in place of factory radio?
it would be best to buy the harness adapters. they plug into the factory harness and will tell you what all the wires are. harness is usually only 10-15 dollars. here is the diagram also.

a radio install kit will have a diagram with it, plus the connectors you get with the kit should have writing on the wires to tell you what they are, the radio wires will have the same writing

First we need to eliminate some possible install errors,
1.) is the deck turning on.... if not check to be sure power wires are hooked up correctly ,..... if deck is turning on and speaker wires are hooked up properly, this problem is usually caused by not hooking up the power wire to the factory amp, I'm not sure what color the wire is as they are different with many types of cars, as soon as you locate the wire hook that wire to your ignition wire to your raido usually the red wire coming out of the back of the deck.... when you are finished you should have your ignition power wire feeding power to the radio and the factory amp
