Question radio wiring diagram

I went to put a new stereo in the stang and found out the guy before me just cut all the wires. I usally don't have a problem with this but the radio will not keep memory. I was just wondering if anyone has a wiring diagram for the Premium Sound System for a 90 GT. Thanks

I do not have the diagram as of yet, but when my stereo comes in I will
have the aftermarket plugin with the diagram that just might help you..
I will scan the instructions and send them to you if you want to see if it
will help...

Also if you have a volt meter or a test light... look for one wire to have
power when the car if off with no key, this will be the one that goes to
the constant pwer wire (usually yellow).

hey hurtin,

I also have a 90 gt premium sound system, and when I went to install my radio i found that i had 6 conectors in there. I also have a factory amp right there, i think. Go to a best buy or shop and ask them if they have anything.

Not sure if you still need this but...

Light green/yellow stripe - Battery (constant pwr)
Yellow/black stripe - Acc (power when turn key)
Orange/black stripe - Day/night Ill.
Red - Ground (Im not positive on this one but pretty sure)

As for the speaker wires I cant help.. but you can use a AA battery to find out. Just touch each end of the battery with the wires - you will get a humming noise out of the speaker they run to.

Good luck

If your wanting to wire into the premium sound plug(gray data cable), I would recommend not to. Instead use the factory amp bypass plugs. Interfacing the factory amp with an aftermarket headunit can create unwanted turn on pops, humming, and whining through your speakers. The factory amp bypass plugs are located directly behind the A/C controls. They are held by a plastic clip, so just pull them down. unplug both harnesses and your left with the standard Ford factory radio plugs. You can pick up a set of smart harnesses from Circuit City, so you don't have to do any wiring. The vehicle side of the
plug is a Metra 801770, and other side will be your new stereo plug with a universal connector that will link the two harnesses together.
There no way to get it wrong.

If your bypass plugs are the ones that are already cut then you'll have to hard wire in your radio harness. Whitepony92 has the correct colors
listed for you. The battery trick works great for matching speaker wires, but to find out which wire is positive or negative you will probably want to use a 9volt and watch which way the speaker moves when it is pulsed. If the speaker moves outward, you have the correct polarity. If the speaker moves inward, you are out of phase, just reverse the wires. Phasing is important because if you don't have it right, your bass frequencies will cancel out causing the bass to sound hollow or like your head is in a bucket. I believe your positive speaker wires are going to be white w/ green stripe, orange w/ stripe, pink w/ green stripe, and pink w/blue stripe. I would check with the battery just to be sure.

Hope something in there helps. interceptor out.
