You need a special tool availible at autozone...Its a ford stereo revomal tool....Its 2 u shaped tools....They are only 5-7 dollars

Go buy a wiring kit from autozone or walmart....Just look up your year of car and it clicks right into your factory wiring...Then all you have to do is color code your wires fromm the stereo that you're putting in.

There should be one that fits in your console. Try to get the exact dimension of the location where you'll insert the stereo on your console and check available stereo head units you would want to install in your car.

The fuse for license plate light is the same for rear driving lights. so if the fuse is broken, you wont have any lights in the rear. I assume that it is not the case.if new bulb doesnt work, check 1) the contacts at the socket, those corrode easily. Check with the lights on, and a 12v tester if power is reaching the socket. If negative, the wiring leading to the socket might be at fault.

because you didn't change the right fuse. you have another fuse panel under the hood and it is listed as rad or aud check that one. also see if your lighter is still working if not change that one too.

The issue you're describing with your Nakamichi NA6605 head unit muting itself after installing new Infinity speakers could be caused by a few different factors. Let's go through some troubleshooting steps to help pinpoint the problem: 1. **Impedance Mismatch:** You mentioned that you replaced the factory speakers with Infinity 6x8 REF-8632cfx speakers. These Infinity speakers have an impedance of 3 ohms, while the original speakers were likely 4 ohms. This difference in impedance could potentially cause issues with the head unit's output stage. Some head units are designed to handle a specific range of speaker impedances. Make sure the Nakamichi unit is compatible with 3-ohm speakers. If it's not, this impedance mismatch could indeed lead to the behavior you're experiencing. 2. **Wiring and Connections:** Double-check all your wiring connections. Make sure that the speaker wires are properly connected and that there are no loose or exposed wires that could be causing a short circuit. Incorrect wiring can cause the head unit to detect a fault and enter mute mode. 3. **Power Supply and Ground:** Ensure that the head unit is receiving a stable power supply and that the ground connection is solid. Voltage drops or poor grounding can lead to unstable operation. 4. **Short Circuit Protection:** Many modern head units have built-in protection mechanisms that detect short circuits or incorrect impedances. If the head unit detects a problem, it might enter mute mode to prevent damage. Check the head unit's user manual to see if it has any relevant protection features. 5. **Head Unit Settings:** Check the Nakamichi unit's settings, especially those related to speaker impedance or output settings. Some head units allow you to adjust output settings based on the connected speakers. 6. **Firmware Update:** If there's a firmware update available for your Nakamichi head unit, consider updating it. Firmware updates can sometimes resolve compatibility issues. 7. **Test the Speakers:** To rule out the possibility of a faulty speaker causing the issue, you can temporarily disconnect the Infinity speakers and see if the head unit behaves differently. 8. **Professional Inspection:** If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it might be best to seek the assistance of a professional car audio installer or technician. They have the expertise and tools to diagnose and address complex issues with car audio systems. Remember, electrical issues in car audio systems can be complex and require a methodical approach to troubleshooting. If you're not comfortable diagnosing the issue yourself, it's best to seek professional assistance to ensure a safe and accurate resolution.

is radio comparable with the vehicle and or has it been hooked up correctly

It’s a ground, if your amp still won’t turn on after u finished installing Then use brown one as a ground and ground it to the same one as your amplifier.

You can buy an aftermarket radio harness adapter for your Navigator from ebay quite cheaply. I would not recommend butchering the factory wiring to install a replacement head unit. I found this one (will work as long as your Lincoln wasn't fitted with SATNAV) - Lincoln Radio WIRE HARNESS INSTALL STEREO PLUG 2003 09 eBay

You need to make sure the amp turn on lead is connected... its blue with a white stripe

Need more information. Are you talking about close to the camera or at the end that connects to the radio/display?
