HI D3cay, I assuming you're installing a head unit... if you have a factory amplifier, the speaker leads should match those below at the amplifier. If you do not have a factory amplifier and if the following colors do not match up, then use your meter to determine what each wire is for. First measure for constant 12V+, then accessory, then illumination. Once you have determined those, use an analog meter or a small battery (9V or AA) to determine each pair of speaker leads. Once you've located each set of speaker leads, measure each of them for resistance to ground. If any speaker lead shows resistance to ground, you'll need to replace it. Older Ford's typically used common ground radios.

Battery: GREEN/ YELLOW

Accessory: Yellow/Black

Grouns: Chassis

Illumination: Blue/Red

LF+: ORANGE / Green

LF-: Blue/Light Green

RF+: WHITE/ Green

RF-: GREEN/ Light Yellow

LR+: Pink/Green

LR-: Pink/Blue

RR+: Pink/Blue

RR-: GREEN/ Orange

Let us know how you make out and if you need anything else.
