you already cut them didn't you?

the adapters have everything listed.

even at that price it is what you should do.

yeah honestly quicklook those adapter set ups jumped in price -used to be around 6-8 bucks now last I looked they around $20 at walmart still well worth the price though
should be 3 hots one is hot at all times for the memory-one for power to radio and one is for the amp or power antenna if I remember right-the other are ground and speakers and stuff

don't just stat cutting and stuff some one did that on my 95 E250 had all the wires crossed up bad ~ was back feeding to the ignition when ya cut the ignition off wouldn't shut off just kept running
