#22 of 22 HELP - Radio Wiring does not match diagrams online... by glennnall

Sep 05, 2012 (4:22 pm)

2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac -
 
I'm putting in a new JVC stereo. no problem.
 
to identify the wiring in the Ford's harness, i've found many 'diagrams' that all define the same wires:
 
Car Radio Battery Constant 12v+ Wire: Light Green
Car Radio Accessory Switched 12v+ Wire: Yellow/Black
Car Radio Ground Wire: Black
Car Radio Illumination Wire: Light Blue/Red
and so on...
 
i've paired off all my speaker wires, which DO match said diagrams, and i'm left with NO yellow wire, 2 RED w/ black stripe wires, 2 GREEN (same shade) w/ black stripe and a WHITE w purple stripe.
 
could some kind soul please, please explain :
 
a) why several diagrams online are calling for Lt Green and Yellow/Black and Lt Blue/Red while i have NONE of those wires in my harness...?
 
and
 
b) how to make my stereo work? :o)
 
aside from my speaker wires, my stereo harness has BLACK, RED and YELLOW. Even the speaker wires match. who'da thunk it...?
 
i really do appreciate anyone's help.
