I have a 1993 F-150. The radio was removed by cutting the wires and the radio and wire connection was thrown away. I am trying to instal an aftermarket cd player but I don't know what wires go to what. I went to the local Ford dealer and they said they didn't have the diagram, yeah right! If anyone has the diagram or know where I can find it, please let me know. I want to hear some tunes. Thanks.

 

to hook up ur new CD Player you need 3 power connections, 1 battery volts, 1 ign volts, and 1 ground. Get a test light, with the key off probe some wires under ur dash untill it lights, thats ur battery connection, next, turn the key on to ign, and look for another wire with ign volts, the ground, its the black wire on ur new CD Player and hook it to a metal part for the ground. Next, when u have ur CD player hooked up to the power connection, turn the key on, throw in a CD like its playing w/o the speakers, then get a couple of jumper wires and just probe each wire one at a time, twisting the wires together, untill u get sound outta ur speakers, and mark them, and keep hooking each other speaker wire up untill u get the right or left speaker and the right balance, some speakers are wired in a series curcuit, some in a parallle. Thats how the Pros do it at these car stereo stores when they hook up new systems, they never use connectors. They cut the connectors off. My Cousin does that, he's an expert at it, one time he hooked the power wire up to the dome light switch on the door and he couldnt figure out why the car stereo stopped playing when he shut the door, ha ha ha that was funny.
