Late 80's to Mid 90's (at least) Ford Premium/JBL Sound Wiring Single Din:
The radio has two connectors. The large single row 8 pin has power, antenna, dimmer, and amp enable. The smaller connector has speaker wires.
LARGE 8 PIN: (SINGLE ROW 1X8)
1. Unswitched 12vdc
2. Ground
3. Switched 12vdc
4. Dimmer input voltage
5. (no connection)
6. Ground
7. Antenna Output +12vdc when on
8. Amp Enable Output +12vdc Early radios (+6vdc later radios 94-99)
If the later radios are swapped into an early 90s car, the 6v amp enable won't turn on the early amp that expects 12vdc. The "quick fix" is to cut wire 8 and tape off the piece remaining on the connector. Splice the remaining wire 8 to wire 7, antenna output.
Don't permanently connect wire 8 to +12 from wire 1 or 3. That will cause loud amp popping when you switch the radio on or off.
RADIO TO AMPLIFIER SPEAKER LEVEL WIRING:
SMALL 8 PIN: (TWO ROW 2X4)
1st pair right rear
Blue #855
P/W #278 +
2nd pair right front
Brown #858
W/R or W/G #279 +
3rd pair left rear
Yellow #859
Blue/Bk #277 +
4th pair left front
W/O #857
Green #280 +
The polarity is based on certain deductions, but probably does not matter as long as they are applied in a consistent manner.
POWER ANTENNA:
On a 92 TC the power antenna motor is a 2 wire arrangement which is operated by an "antenna module" which has a relay (at least) to reverse polarity on the antenna motor. Reversing polarity determines the direction of movement. Unfortunately the factory manuals don't detail the internals of the antenna module.
INPUTS TO ANTENNA MODULE
R/LB Hot in START position (probably disables antenna movement)
W/LB Hot in ACC or RUN (probably required to move up)
W/P Hot at all times (probably required to allow antenna to go down when switched power is off)
BK Ground for antenna module
O/Y Radio Antenna Control +12 with radio on (controls up when 12v/down when 0v)
OUTPUTS OF ANTENNA MODULE
DG/Y Antenna dc power + or - depending on direction of travel (output of module)
R/PK Antenna dc power + or - depending on direction of travel (output of module)
