I bought a 98 ranger and it has a doubt din head unit. And the screen is messed up so I ordered a jvc single din head unit to install. I took the old head unit out only to find the previous owner cut the factory plug off the radio wiring harness. Any ideas on what I can do to install my new head unit. Thanks.

 

Welcome to the forum

Have a look at this diagram: https://www.therangerstation.com/tec...dio_Wiring.pdf

This is the base model radio wiring, there was also a Premium model that used a separate amplifier, more wires

Pay attention to the RED/BLACK wire, DO NOT use this wire on 3rd party Radios, ever, its to MUTE stock radios when starting, if you hook that wire up your starter motor will activate with key on, lol, it can be..........unnerving to say the least
