I am installing a amp in a 1999 ford taurus and I have NO IDEA what wire I would have to splice into to turn on the amo when the car is turned on. He is keeping the factory head unit so I have to cut into the factory wiring. If someone can PLEASE tell me what color that wire would be and where it is located, it would be very helpful. i did some research online and I saw something about a wire in the trunk, however I thought I would have to go from behind the radio. Anyways, thanks for the info!

Do you have a test light, or better yet a meter?

Use a metra hanress to see what color the wire is.

I am going to be using the factory head unit, so I dont need a wiring harness. I do not have a meter or a test light. Some one on another forum said it just wrap it around a fuse in the fuse panel and put it back in the fuse panel. However, I would like more of a professional look than that. So knowing the wire on this is key for me.

if you want to do it the right way then your gonna have to get a multimeter, or you could just spend a couple bucks and get a cheap test light.

Or the yellow/black wire is your Accessory, if you want to pull it off of that.
