Unhappy cd changer wire identification

hi guys and gals
anyone have a wiring diagram of the wires that go to the cd changer in a 1997 ford explorer ? i replaced my changer with an aftermarket and forgot to eject my cd cartridge out of my old one and i,m NOT taking that stuff back apart to get them out if i can find which wire is positive and which is negative i,ll get them out that way by just hooking power to it long enough to eject it , any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks 911bear

according to the prelim copy of the EVTM I have

pin 4 is ground (black/light grey)
pin 9 is ground (black).
pin 10 is continuous power (light grey/purple)
pin 11 is something called "ASYS on" (might be the key based on or from the head unit, not sure - light grey/black)

I am guessing that with 9 and 10 you would be able to use the eject button.

As usual, this is from a preliminary book and might not be fully right... use at your own risk.
