I hope you didnt cut or open any harnesses yet... it's REALLY easy... now I have a convertible but I assume it's the same system.... you'll ned to yank out the factory amp.. it's mounted behind the head unit in teh dash there.... it's held in with two screws... hex heads... anyway... once you get that out it'll have it's own harness to unplug... you kinda need alittle of each... the main power and all dimmer function and remote turn on, etc...that on one of the plugs... the other plug goes to the amp... so you wont need that... once you take out the amp you'll see the SQUARE harness that came out of the amp... THAT goes to all your speakers.... do yourself a favor and find a wireharness kit for ford factory amp setups.. call crutchfield if you have too... I bought my head unit from them so they sent it to me free.. but I'm sure you could buy it if you needed to... then you butt connect those harnesses to the new head unit and you just plug it into the dash harness... you should never need to cut any factory wires or pop open harnesses... when it's all done your new CD player head unit will have one FLAT PLUG and one SQUARE plug... those will plug into the harness in the dash... you wont need to run special speaker wires either... it makes for nice install and you'll know the connections are good... otherwise you'll be dealing with loose connections and you'll hit a bump and your left rear speaker will go out and then come back.. it sucks... when it comes to stereo stuff make sure you do a clean job... and try to avoid cutting and splicing if you can..
