I think it just uses the one of the two '98-up ford harness ( Metra 70-5700 if it has a factory subwoofer; Metra 70-1771 if it does not).

Other than those pictures, the only thing I have is this diagram of the back of a radio that should be similar to the back of your radio. With the factory connector plugged into the back of the radio you can look at the diagram and figure out which wires are which.

okie just found the wiring for the 02 explorer but I don't know if it's gonna be the same as your vehicle's wiring. As long as you have the same size/shape plugs as the ones in the diagrams I showed you, you know that you can follow the pinouts if unsure. They may use different colors for the factory wiring, but between models that have the same size/shape plug, all of the pinouts are the same.

+12V Constant = WHITE/ Yellow

+12V Accessory Switched = BLACK/ Pink

-12V Chassis Ground = BLACK/ Orange

+12V Illumination = RED / Black

Varying 12V Dimmer = Black

LF+ = ORANGE / Green

LF- = Blue/White

RF+ = WHITE/ Green

RF- = GREEN/ Orange

LR+ = Gray/Blue

LR- = Tan / YELLOW

RR+ = ORANGE / Red

RR- = BROWN / Pink

myabe, i should've been more specific. i'm trying to install a 03' stock stereo in my 91' f-150. I have a harness for my truck but i don't know which wires go where from the newer model. i need to know what the color code is for the 03' model to match it up.

in case you are wondering, my uncle works for a waste management company that picks up loads from Visteon. For some reason they were dumping a bunch of stock radios (probably for changeover) and he gave me one.

i got the radio to work but it's not right. i've got some wires crossed and i don't know where. I've got the speaker wires figured out but the memory, dimmer, ground etc... is giving me problems.
