I bought a 2000 Ford Ranger with no radio and cut wires, I bought a CD player so I could listen to the radio and I thought I could figure it out but I was mostly wrong. I had the radio working with no memory so my time and settings would reset every time I shut my truck off and started it. so I basically am looking for someone who is familiar with the ranger radio wiring to help me with my situation? if i get help thanks much appreciated.

 

if you got all the other wires right then all you have to do is fined the wire that's always got power to it hook it to the memory wire

 

you wouldnt happen to know what wire always has power?

 

no but it you have a 12v tester don't turn your key on and you will find it will be the only one with power

 

If you google it the schematic it comes up just use year make and model. I used it for when i wired my touch screen radio its not to bad it'll give you color codes to match up to the aftermarket adapter for your radio. Good luck!

 

well did you find the hot wire?
