Hi there everyone, Im really happy I found a site like this that carrys diagrams for free, more websites like this should be created. Now on to my question.
The car is a 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis LS. The stock radio is a AM/FM casseste pictured here
There is a amlifier in the trunk, so im assuming its a premium sound system. I went to best buy and the guy looked at my car and gave me 2 types of harness, one was the ford eliminator harness and the other one was something else but it wouldnt fit either. When I went to return the harness, he looked at the car and I told him the antenna was in the windsheild. Once I said that, a guy working on a car yelled "he has the car that you have to run new wires for everything.
Im lost on this whole thing on what to do and I was wondering if you guys would be nice enough to help me. I have lots of pictures of the wires comming from the car and pictures of the stock radios inputs for them.
I just dont know what to do in this situation, just wish it could be like my old radio where all i needed was a harness. I hope the pictures are usefull

Which harness did they give you? metra 70-5600. This is what harness is listed for this car. It looks like it will fit, hard to tell 100%.
Looks like the amp. eliminator plug is 70-5602.
