Hey... I'm not new to an E series falcon, but am low as low on dollars to be able to get some one to wire in a head unit for me=( I have a 96 EL falcon, and have no clue as to what/ which wires are what... My light tester is busted, and just not having a fantastic day at all! The powering wires on the orig. unit are *thinks* Blue w/ white stripe, Red, Black w/ pink stripe, a light green, and a Brown wire... Would anyone here please be able to fill me in on which is what, and so on?
It'd be schmick if someone could *thumbs up*
Svanks..

I was clueless also when I came to put a JVC in my el, had no idea how to wire but using the doco on fordmods, I mangaged to get it right, go to Repco or Autobahn and get a harness, makes it even easier.
