On a side note, I finally got a working trans for my 90 and it is sooooo sweet to have the beast running.
One of the first things I noticed was NO TUNES. The factory ford radio was there, and the LED readout did not really work, but you could hear the tape moving if inserted. So I figured just install my nice Alpine. Get the removal tool for 3 bucks, and the harness adapter plugs. Even soldered the connections between the plugs and the radio harness, plug it in and...... NOTHING
After scratching my head for a while, and reading the new 89-93 Chiltons manual I got, there was mention of an "premium sound" AMP buried under the dash, sticks my head in and see it there. Remembered seeing a premium sound sticker on the floor when vacumming. Finally got it out, unplugged it I assume this unit is fried thus no sound output. I had to cut the wires leading from the amp and after about a hour of trial and error decypehered the wiring since the chiltons had no radio info. Of course the amp output plug was totally strange as the speaker wires were not paired up execpt for one pair of 4, very bizzarre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is there an slick adapter to jumper this to bypass my hack job??? Anyone need a stock head unit, which apparently does work just a bad LED readout
Gotta go burn some rubber
