Here is the wiring info for the deck, but test your connections with a DMM or light tester before connecting anything. 1987-91 Ford F Series Stereo Information

i got it. the ground was red, hot was green, but the trouble maker was the accessory. it was orange and black. you may want to make a note of this, because i believe that many of the ford vehicles 86-91 have the same radios. thanks for the help jeff. peace out
