Description Crutchfield Hands-on Research Accessories
 

Crutchfield custom wiring harnesses are lifesavers. You'll save many steps when installing an aftermarket receiver in your car. Simply splice the color-coded wires on your Crutchfield harness to the wires from your aftermarket radio — and do it in the comfort of your home without having to struggle with splicing wires behind your dash. Most of the wire splices can be made on your work bench or kitchen table. Soldering is best, crimping is also very popular.

Next, plug the Crutchfield harness into the harness that you removed from your factory radio.

Since you didn't have to cut off your car's original radio connector, it's easier to put the factory radio back in when you sell your vehicle or return it at the end of the lease. Just plug the factory radio back in and keep the aftermarket radio. Best of all, the harness is free with most of the receivers Crutchfield offers. 30-day warranty.

Connections:

Note: This includes a "jumper" bypass harness that will route your signal around your factory amplifier. You will need to access your factory amp in order to make the bypass harness connections.

I got my new car stereo installed and one of the speakers didn't work.  After taking  everything completely apart, I found the problem was a backed-out terminal in the  Crutchfield jumper harness.


 
Power & Amp by-pass..Great, Speaker adapter is ter June-20-11
Reviewer: JT from Gatlinburg, TN  
I recently changed out the stock radio in a '94 Ford Explorer and used this  harness collection to make the necessary connections.  The amp by-pass  cable worked perfectly, and the connector for power & accessory controls  snapped into the Ford harness with ease.  The speaker connector, however,  was a 45 minute frustrating curse fest.  The problem is weak and poor design  of the the eight pin connector.  The slightest pressure against the pin(s) sends  the pin, with wire connected, straight out the back of the plug. The eight pins in  the Crutchfield connector appeared to be in perfect alignment but time and  time again 2 or more of the pins would not enter the Ford connector, and those  pins would exit the back of the connector while the others would seat.  The  Ford connector was is perfect condition with no apparent blockages.  I  eventually got all pins to sync, but now they are so weak in the plastic housing,  I have had to use electrical tape to keep them from falling out.  Not the  seamless professional installation that I anticipated.  I will probably have to  end up cutting and splicing directly into the Ford speaker harness because I  am getting occassional distortion from one of the speakers already.

Reviewer: leiisme from Denton, TX  
The amplifier bypass was great.  The instructions were clear.  The speaker and receiver adaptors should have been a simple matter.  The instructions of these are not clear and left a lot to be desired.  The instructions did not address the two additional wiring harnesses from the factory radio.  That created another problem because two of the factory wiring harnesses are interchangeable.


 
Colorblind wiring November-02-08
Reviewer: Little Richard from Pittsburgh, PA  
If you are not colorblind, this harness collection is outstanding.  If you're colorblind, GOOD LUCK!  How about some RF- and RF+ type tab labels on all the wiring?? 67% of the male population is colorblind.


 
Ford Wiring Harness and connectors March-15-08
Reviewer: Mark from Somerset, NJ  
We have 2 1992 Lincoln Town Cars in our family.  Both still had the original AM FM Cassette players in them.  I switched to MP3.  The 2 harnesses and instructions made the job easy.  I was able to bypass the trunk amp in 60 seconds, and installed my stereo in 5 minutes.  Crutchfields harness helped save me hours of time by not rerouting new wires from the doors and rear deck to the stereo.  I was able to use all of the OEM Ford wiring.  Way to go Crutchfields!!  Their customer service adviser (Greg) was fantastic.  I highly recommend this kit.  Mark B.  Somerset, NJ
