Car Stereos: ford radio wires, ford radio, radio wires


Question
Hello  I am trying to hook up a ford cassette am/fm radio What color would the hot wire be?  There is a ground  connection directly to the radio frame and it has a red wire to it. Is there a ground connection that goes through  the harness to the radio also? the radio has 11 wires  coming out of 2 connectors. thank you, Arrow

Answer
If the deck has an electronic clock, the full time power lead is green with a yellow stripe. There is usually no ground facility on the Ford radios except when they used a premium sound amp....try going to www.installdr.com for detailed wiring instructions.
