By any chance does anyone have a map of the wires are routed ? Im having trouble finding how the speaker wires run through the center armrest console for the back seat entertainment controls. anyone?
Brandon, when a wire is colored orange/white, this means the wire is orange with a white stripe on it. Hope this helps. Good luck with your 1996 Ford Explorer stereo installation.
i have more of a question than a comment. on the wiring listing thing. how it says (color/color) does that mean the wire has a combination of both of those colors or is the wire either color? i am very confused
