'03 Stereo wire colors

Took out the standard 6 disk (broken) to put in new JVC. Cannot yet find good diagram, and have WAY to many wires.

One source said:

12v+ Constant: Lt Green/Violet
12v+ Switch: Pink/Lt Green
Ground: Black/Lt Green

The Speaker wires worked out fine, but with the back seat control wires coming to the front, I've got none that meet the color combinations above.

Have bought an email wiring diagram from some source (still waiting), but with early '03 vs. late '03 and Ford's changing of wiring colors so often, I am at a stand.

Does anyone have the correct colors for Constant Power, Switched Power, and Ground?

Thanks

Update

OK, I got the stereo running, and the $12 I paid to Mobile Labs for a "genuwine" wiring diagram showed up this morning on email.

While I got the correct readings on the multi-meter for 12V constant, and 12V switched, the stereo resets every time I turn the truck off.

I'll be pulling the dash AGAIN to see if Mobile Labs has the wiring colors correct.

How much difference was there between Early 2003 Production and Late 2003 Production in general? Maybe I should post this general question separately in the future.
