I recently attempted to install a JVX Cassette Receiver into my Ford Escort but after removing the old radio and viewing the wires, I became confused. I looked at the install bay for the escort's wiring color scheme and the colors don't seem to match. I have a black, green, blue/red, blue/black and blue. Can someone please tell me why this is.?? THank you!

Was the previous radio the Ford factory radio or was it an aftermarket player ? Make sure that there isn't a harness that is attached to the factory harness as well.

I have the exact same problem. The radio is factory with no harness (that I can see) and there are 5 wires but 7 leads on the radio. Please help!

Hi golunnova, the factory radio in your vehicle is/was a common ground radio and you'll need to run two wires from each speaker to your new head unit for it to operate properly.
