count the pins before you go to the store again. the adapter you bought is an 8 pin connector and it looks like your stereo is a 16 pin plug. that should help in getting the right one
 






Take the picture with you when you go?
 






I went to two local stores to get the proper harness for my limited. They both gave me the wrong harnesses so I just bit the bullet and adapted the wrong one by adding all my own speaker wires.

Now Im running a 2nd set of speaker wires for my components so that if I ever want to take those out I can just plug in the stockers
 






Try getting a harness from walmart. I got one for my 02 a few weeks ago and it had four different plugs on it one of which looked like what you need It had two for the power side and two for the speaker side. They were wired so that you used the connector you needed for power and for speakers and the other two is just there unused with a cap inside of it. I know yours is a 2nd gen. but the harness fit a wide range of years. The harnesses sold here are made by schosche (sp?). Check out the link below, found that on cardomain.

What people don't know is. There are 3 different harnesses for the all years Explorers and Rangers. So it's hard to know what one you need.

The one you need should have a flat gray one and a square green one.
 






finally got everything in..after a LONGGGGG time haah...but it was worth it...now i need to upgrade my subs/amp/and door speakers....here we go!!!
