You'll have to pull the passenger rear trim panel off. Some screws under the carpet, and the christmas tree clips around the outside of it (goes around the rear 1/4 window If there is a box behind it, you have a stock amp. The amp was also some of the radio 'guts' in '95.

I can pick up a '95 Harness wor you with some leads at the junkyard this weekend, and you can match them up to what you have left if you like...

ya thanks man that would help so much i want my changer to work so much
 






Do you have a changer now? Is it a factory changer, and is the stock harness running to the changer?

Also- do you have a stock subwoofer in the rear of the truck? Mounted in the passenger rear side trim... It will decide what harness to grab.
 






it didn't come with a changer or sub but it has a amp and the stock deck i have came out of a ford that dose and i need to replace changer from console came out of same truck i gotta hook up the whole console heater and all and radio control but another day project lol
 






Well, it's important to know what exactly you have. It's not as easy as hooking a harness up- if the deck you grabbed came from a truck with a subwoofer, it is a JBL/MACH deck. If that's the case, it will not plug into your factory harness, they are completely different. If you didn't have a changer before, that's another different harness as well.

Post up pics or part numbers of what radio you have, and your truck/the wires. Need to check it out before we're off on a wild goose chase on this one... Ford factory radios are not plug and play, unfortunately. Especially with a '95-'97 Ex- the newer radios are definitely not plug and play into them.
