Ford Audio/Video System :: 2002 - No Accessory Power With New Head Unit
Jan 6, 2013
I just installed a new Pioneer head unit in my 2002 Excursion. Everything works great except it doesn't work on accessory power. I used a harness to harness hook up but I basically just connected like colored wires. When done I had three extra wires coming from the truck harness, black with a white line, and two orange wires... one may have had a black stripe. All others were connected. Do I have to get power off of a wire from the ignition switch or did I not connect one I should have?

Have my new-to-me 2006 F250 and managed to wire up my back up camera, USB connectors, and run the wire for my microphone. My only hang-up is trying to get the wire to stay up under the headliner. I ran it across under the steering wheel, up the A-pillar, and out behind the headliner and I want to attach it on the side of the overhead console. I tried simply stuffing the cable between the roof and headliner but that didn't seem to work. Trying a non-permanent solution so not wanting to use glue or other adhesive in case I need to replace the mic someday. Can successfully make mic cord stay underneath the headliner?

Have a 2012 E350 with the single disc CD & 6 speakers. For you guys who have replaced your stock head unit, what inputs or connections are available on the back of the stock unit? I'd really like to be able to control the volume with a remote, either wired or wireless.

I have a 2002 F-350 with the 6-disc changer in dash and one of the CD is stuck in the opening. It is a little too deep for me to reach and the opening is too small for my set of needle nose... How I am going to get this CD out?

How to remove the black outer trim from the dash area around the radio? I need to do a little sub-dash mod to fit my new double DIN head unit in place, and don't want to break the dash trim in the process. I've pulled on it a bit, but decided I had better stop until I found out the correct way to do it ...

I just purchased a 2003 F150 with the factory CD / Cassette player. 3l3t-18c868-ac ... There is absolutely no power to the stereo, the one fuse I found in the owners manual that says its for the stereo is still good.
Why I have no power, or other places I should be looking. Also, need a pin out for the radio so I can apply power to it on my bench so I can see if it even powers up?
Then the next thing would be which wire in the harness in the dash that I unplugged is for power so I can test with a multi meter if its getting power? My fear is there is a bad power wire, but maybe I can run another power line to it from another source and get it to work.

I'd like to stick my Garmin up next to the rear view mirror and not have a wire hanging down. Tapping into power above the overhead console? I should be able to clip the plug off the Garmin power cord and tie into 12vdc directly and tuck the short wire where the rear view wire comes out.

Well after install many of stero's,wiring phone system,etc I though I could install powerlocks on my 07 f150 xl.
I have a basic understanding on how this alarm works but I have a few questions. First her is the diagrams I have to look at. [URL] ....
Like I said I have installed the power locks in the door panels but I do not know how to hook them up the the brain. Do i use relays? or do I just connect a lock wire and a unlock wire to the lock motor? If I do use a relay do Can i daisy chain the unlock output and the lock output?
Once I can get that figured out I just wire the rest of the brain up to the information I have for the wiring diagram for my truck. 12V to the ignation, Find lights,etc...

2013 F-250. Sync. No navigation. I am able to pair my Android cell phone to the truck and all works fine. Can send and receive calls using the voice commands etc. I am also able to play music from my bluetooth enabled LG V10 android cell phone. When I start the truck, it automatically detects my cell phone, connects to it and begins playing music from my cell phone through the truck stereo. And therein lies the problem.
My question is, is there a way to tell the truck to go ahead and connect to the cell phone, but don't start playing music. In other words, I don't want the truck to launch the music player on my cell phone. I always have to either turn off the player on my cell phone or give the "pause" command through bluetooth audio.

On my '06 XL F350 I want to know if and how I can hook up an auxiliary input. It has the AUX button ,but it doesn't have any aux audio port in the dash anywhere like some of the nicer F-series have. When I push the AUX button, the screen reads "NO AUX AUDIO". Is there an adapter I can buy to plug in the back so I can actually have and auxiliary input?

So i have this whistle/wine through my system when running the Sirius thingy. It seems to correlate with rpm... Higher the rpm... higher pitched the whine/whistle...
The pitch of the whistle almost matches my turbo whistle. The Sirius is powered through the cigar lighter port. Aux audio 3.5mm cord from Sirius to the stereo head.

2002 F250 diesel ... I found these two plastic pieces yesterday on the floor near the 4X4 shifter. I noticed the other day when i step on the brake the rear view camera in the head unit comes on, so i am thinking they are either a part of the brake switch on the pedal assembly, or something to do with the shift tube.
