dont cut the wires . go down to your local walmart go into the stereo section and they have factory wire harness ends. theyre like 8 dollars. then match the wires from the deck to that harness and plug it into your factory harness.

i agree! i cant stand it when i buy a car and some jack *** was so cheap to just cut and splice the factory wires. do what ford freakout said. do it right, do it neat, easier to troubleshoot if you need to later. quicker to install another head unit also.

my cousin bought a mustang, i believe it was about a 2000 model, and she wanted me to put in a stereo. She started it and cut the wires from the factory harness, now days they run through factory amps and such and the speakers wont work properly by just splicing those wires together. So i spent about 3 hours trying to find the correct wire combinations before i got any type of sound out. Then i just told her that i would do my own wiring, so i ran a power wire from the fuse box, a wire from something that turned on with the key and all new wires direct to the speakers, luckly she had some aftermarket speakers she wanted me to install. long story short, its alot easier and safer to just go get a 8 dollar harness and do it right rather than have a bunch of bare wires behind your dash...
