- 97 explorer xlt
I am trying to put a new stereo in my 97 explorer but it's turning into kind of a pain. No wire harness adapters fit into the factory harness. I spoke to an audio technician at best buy and he said the metra 70-5600 is the right one, but it doesn't fit. The flat gray one fits and it illuminates and everything, but the squarish green one for the speakers doesn't fit. It looks like the right shape but it's too big and they don't fit together. I am thinking about just skipping the aftermarket harness and just connecting the stereo wires straight to the factory wires. I know this can be a pain when switching stereos but I'm not sure what else I can do. Any better ideas?
