If only car radios were as easy to install as they used to be! Unfortunately these days car radios and stereo systems have become increasingly complicated to wire up.
However I have found the color codes for the wiring of a 1996 Ford Ranger stereo, which makes the whole installation process a lot easier!

That should be it! Remember to take care and take your time when installing your new stereo, as one wrong wire could break the whole system! I hope this has been helpful.
