Sterio Wiring Harness

[SLOSHO89]

I'm going to put in an aftermarket CD player. Does any one know where I can get the wiring harness so that I can use the stock speakers and amp? What is the part number and how much are they?

Thanks,
Efren

you can get one at your local Best Buy stores. They are less than $20.

I got mine from a place on ebay. They sold me a "Ford Premium System Harness" and a "Ford OEM adapter" harness for $18.00 shipped. The premium thing bestbuy didn't have instock nor did my local circuit city.

Quick service from this place as I had my harnesses in 2 days. Gonna solider my stuff up tonight and be ready to install my player tomorrow.

all I can tell u is before you connect the wires to the stereo, make sure they line up with the wires in your car... I bought a harness from Circuit City and they (I think) gave me a harness for a REGULAR Taurus eek! all it took was swapping a few wires in the harness... not hard.

Ok, I got the plug for the speakers. But the other plug is a standard taurus plug. Does anyone know which wires need to be switched? I wanted to use the stock amp. Is that posible or do I need to bypass the amp? Or better yet, if any one has a copy of the helms manual where it shows which wires go where.

Thanks,

If I were you I would bypass the amps. I tried using the amps, even bought the attenuating adapter, and it sounded like crap. I just recieved my bypass harness yesterday from Crutchfield and it sounds way better. The only problem is I can no longer use the factory sub. It was going out anyway and I was planning on putting my own in.
