ford lightning radio plug pinouts needed

NITRO UK · 08-30-2009, 08:21 AM

Hi guys
Anyone know how or where i can get info on the stock radio plug
pinouts,like what color goes where.
My plug is rectangular with 16 pins,this is on a 2003 lightning.
I did buy an adapter harness while in the usa,got it home then realized
it was a male connector ,which is not going to fit my stock male plug.
Should have been a female,the plug that is

I have got some diagrams off the web,but every one is diff,like pin number and colours.
cheers and thanks for any replies.
