2003 sport trac
ok wen to te salvage yard the other day for some parts(u-pull). Found a real nice condition factor sub woofer of a 2005 Trac. I have a 2003 Trac that has ever option except the upgraded sound. So I got the whole wiring harness all the way up front passenger kick panel.. Brought it home and the connector and wire colors matched mine. So I thought I lucked out.

Well I hook it up and nothing. I have a Pioneer MV-380BT head and I noticed there are 2 connectors I never never used on the stereo. I know one used to go to the rear controls that are not used now. I only paid $10.00 for the sub and amp so not much into it but would like to hear it run.

If anyone has added te factory sub to your "non factory" sub Trac, I could use some help. I have Pics of what I'm talkin about if that would help

Thanks,

Rick

Is there a quick way to power the amp to see if it's working at all?

OK here is the back of head wiring. Does the sub woofer use either one of these conections that are not hooked up?

Thanks

Success! Finally found the right harness and wiring diagram. Sounds great, I know there are better systems out today but for $10.00 plus the Mantra harness it is a hell of a lot better than what I had. Glad I did it.
