I'm trying to hook up an amp to the factory head unit of a 2003 Ford Taurus. I found the wiring diagram for my car on here, but it didn't have the information for the remote turn on lead. One thing I read says it is a blue wire with white stripe. Another says that it is a solid blue wire. I have 2 blue wires with white stripes in my head unit, but no solid blue wires. Since there are two, I don't know which one to use. Thanks for any help you can give.

ACC/IGN wire, a stock HU won't have a remote turn on.

You don't need a specific "remote turn on" wire. Any wire that becomes hot with the car will suffice. The first and easiest places to look are at the fusebox and at your lighter slot (only if the lighter is dead when the car is off). Check here for any wire that turns on with the car and use it.
