Bronze Member Username: Randy420Post Number: 69 Registered: Dec-03 | ok i just bought a amp bypass harness.. but where would i find the amp in a 97 ford exlporer,..does anyone understand this?...i will type what it says.. " Wire the POWER HARNESS and AMPLIFIER INTERATION PLUG to the aftermarket head unit" i dont understand it... do i still connect the turn on amp wire or leave it? |

Gold Member Username: IlluminatorPost Number: 1340 Registered: Apr-05 | They probably meant to say 'integration' and were most likely just referring to plugging it between the harness to the speakers and harness to the headunit. The amp is around the back seat area from what I've heard. |

Bronze Member Username: Randy420Post Number: 70 Registered: Dec-03 | yeah i found it..it was in the back right side, i had to remove the plastics inside.. but i must have the wrong bypass harness, its a 70-5514. one of the connectors are right, but the other one on the amp is a little small square clip.. this is what mine looks like: http://www.metraonline.com/product.aspx?sku=70-5513&x=15&y=11 |

Thats link is where i posted some pics of it. It sits behind a plastic panel behind the passenger side rear seat. You'll have to take the whole panel off to get at the amp. If you look back with a flashlight where the rear passenger seat belt goes into the plastic panel you should catch a glimpse of it. While the panel is off, get some silicon caulking and fill in any holes you see in the car by the wheel well. I had half a gallon of dried mud sitting in my car behind that panel. Ford thought they would solve this problem by sticking little plastic bags with cotton in them down by the wheel well. Not exactly effective. |
