QuestionI checked both sides and on the drivers side I found Orange with a green line and Blue with a white line. On the passenger side I found Green with an orange line and white with a green line. I saw no black lines what so ever. Thanks for your help.

Question -
I installed new speakers in the front doors of the windstar. I didn't have the wireing harness that I usually use so I don't know possitive from negative. I looked in the Chiltons guide that I have and couldn't find any thing.
Thanks, Jason
Answer -
usually the one with the black stripe is the negative. it wont hurt the speakers any if you hook them up backwords, the bass will just sound less and the stereo image will be poor. if you know what you're listening to you can siply guess and if it doesnt sound right switch them around. I can help with that if there is no black stripe but 99% of the time there will be a black stripe signifying neg. if you hook the power lines up to the stereo backwords then you can damage stuff but if it's just the speakers you cant hurt anything.
Good luck!
Answersorry it took me forever to get back to you!!
ok I looked up typical ford wireing and windstar wiring and what I found is this:
Left Front posative is solid Purple
left front negative is blue w/ orange stripe
Right Front posative is blue w/ White stripe
Right Frong negative is solid white
this doesnt sound quite consistant with what you have, take another look and see if these descriptions could match but if they dont:
what you can do is hook up just one of these speakers lets go with driver's front. use the radio's balance control to pan the sound over to the drives side. then use the fade control to get the volume a good balance between front and rear. sit sideways in the car as close as you can to the middle of the front and rear speaker so that your right ear faces the rear speaker and your left ear faces the front speaker. put some music on and you should hear the sound like it's "in your head" and not coming directly from either speaker. if it sounds like its coming from both speakers (and the bass will be lacking) switch the wires on the front speaker and try again, now it should sound like it's "in your head" and not coming directly from either speaker and the bass should sound more reinforced. this is the sound you want that tells you it's right. now just do the same thing on the passenger side. (install speaker, set balance and fade and listen, switch if nessesary)
you cant hurt anything by getting them backwords, just use trial and error and this guide and you'll get it right!
Please let me know how it goes!
again sorry for taking so long!
