I recently bought a '91 Ford Explorer from a friend of mine and I'm trying to install a Kenwood head unit into it. I have the stock radio removed, but the color coding is not familiar to me, I used the diagram that is on this site, but the coding is not the same.

I have the speaker wires seperated and connected, but the power and accessory wires are the ones that dont match up

The color coding for the power connection from Right to Left is

YELLOW /GREEN, Black, BLACK / YELLOW, Blue/Red, ORANGE / Black, large Red wire, then two open ports

GREEN/ YELLOW is constant 12 volts. BLACK / YELLOW is switched. lt.blue/red is illumination. Large red is chassis ground. Don't use black or ORANGE / black.

There is no such thing as free installation!
