I have a 97 Explorer Sport with the factory radio and CD changer. I am trying to wire up 2 line level converters to run my 2 amps. I am having trouble finding the pin out configuration of the 16 pin black plug that plugs into the radio. I know the pinout for the standard 8 pin gray power plug. I believe the other harness runs the controls the changer and rear stereo controls. I need to know the pin out for the 16 pin plug, so I can figure out which wires are my speaker leads. After removing the stock speakers, I have noticed that the speaker wires are not the same colors as the ones coming out of the plug. The stereo does not say JBL on it and does not follow the wiring diagram listed on this site (link below). Any help is appreciated.

They've got the pinout for the 16-pin plug.
