SOURCE: 1997 mercury mountaineer cigarette lighter

http://www.genuineservice.com/genuineservice/en/default?page=genuineService

Go to this website and pick owner guide on left task bar. Input vehicle info then get the owners manual.Your fuse panel info starts on page 120.

To replace lighter just reach around behind it and unhook connectors. The stick something in the socket(I usually use 2 fingers) and twist it counter clockwise. the center will screw out of the sleeve.

SOURCE: stereo wiring harness need to

Use a test light if the colors are different. Real easy and basic.
red accessory :turns on and off with the key
yellow memory :stays on all the time
black ground :obvious
blue remote :only used with an amplifier
the rest are speaker wires.
if you have 2 orange wires. they are illumination wires usually only used for the stock radio not aftermarket just tape them off.

SOURCE: putting aftermarket radio in 1997 ford Mercury grand marquis but wire color doesn't match up... what colors do I use for speakers and battery and ground

Get your self a D or C battery fully charge. Set aside the cables that you think it goes to the speakers. Now grab a pair of cables that you think it goes to one speaker, it don't matter if it's from, back, right or left, we are going to figure that out with the battery. Grab on of the cable, if you think the cable goes to the positive, connect the cable to positive (battery) and the other one just tap the bottom of the battery, you should hear a thump sound. Now you know to which speaker those cable belong to, but you need to be sure which is negative and which is positive. For that, take out the door carpet, or wherever the speaker's at, and expose the speaker, try again with the battery, if the thump sound makes the speaker go in, you need to swap the cables, if it goes out, you have them correct. Best of luck.
