Need some help diagnosing a problem with hooking up a stereo in a 2003 Ford F150. I think the wiring is crossed, but I am not sure how to tell.

If possible, can you be more specific?
Is the stereo powering up at all?
If so, are any of the speakers working?
Did you use a wire harness? (best buy, crutchfield, ebay)

Without knowing more details I cannot begin to diagnose your problem. The best thing I can offer is a link to a site called installdr.com
The actual link will take you to a .PDF file with schematics and wire diagrams for a 1999 F150 but dont worry.. The information is good for F150 Models 1999-2003. The design didn't change until 2004.
Here is the Link! F150 Install
Hope this helps!

If you go to canadian tire they will have a harness for for then all you will have to do is plug it in but you must either marret the wire with the same colour from the harness you bought to your stereo

Have a 1985 ford f150 302 efi v8 need to know the firing order?

1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 The rotor turns counter-clockwise. Make sure to keep #7 and #8 spark plug wires separated. The 5.0L had a problem with 7 and 8 cross-firing because they fire so close to each other. Ford changed the firing order on that engine, in later years , because of that reason. Hope this helps ya... Cobra :-)
