Factory Harness Cut
Hello everyone, I need some help!
I have a 2007 Ranger Sport and my factory harness for the stereo was cut. It also has the "amplified sound" harness which is still intact though. Every site I've been to has the wrong colour code for my truck. There is either too many, not enough or I don't even have the colours they call for. The site installdr.com that I went to said that Ford uses three different wiring schemes and two of the exact same vehicle could have totally different wiring codes. Is this true? How do I find the right one for my vehicle?
And once I have the colour codes for the harness I plan to hardwire the stereo in but how do I install an aftermarket deck if the "amplified sound" harness is still intact?
Please help, I need some tunes!
Sometimes when I explain things I don't make sense so if this doesn't make sense I can try to explain it differently.

You can either
A.) Find a dealer (even one of the forum sponsors) and give them your vin (or yr/model) and let them order a pigtail kit for it. They usually arn't all that expensive.
B.) Purchase a Metra 71-1771 harness kit. It did not note a "specialized" connector for the '07-
Either of those two should get you where you want to be.

The 71 series should be the vehicle side connector, and then the 70 series (70-1771 should be the right number but I haven't looked it up) should be the one that plugs into the vehicle connector. I think metra (as well as most other manufs) will use the industry standard wiring colors instead of the OEM colors. The radio side is pretty much matching up the colors. The vehicle side harness will probably be matching the function of the wires to the vehicles colors.
I can't find a free tech sheet for your model, but see if this gets you close.

Okay so I got the harness and the pigtail.
I manually figured out the speakers by taking the door panels off and i've got 7 wires left
violet/pink bigger guage wire
white/blue bigger guage wire
blue/white
green/orange
yellow/black
blue/black
black/blue bigger guage wire
Any ideas anyone?
