1996 Mercury Cougar Repair Question
Asked on August 15, 2010
1996 Mercury Cougar dashboard, shfiter column, a/c, and doo
Electrical problem
1996 Mercury Cougar V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 52000 miles
I just replaced my car stereo with a pioneer CD player. The stereo works fine but my lights don't work inside when the head lamps are turned on. The overhead lights work when i turn the dimmer all the way on but that is all. None of the lights work for the dash, center console, doors, ash tray. I could not locate a wire harness adapter so i have connected the wires straight to the factory wires. after the speakers were connected, i had 5 wires from the car harness left: big black ith green stripe, big black with red stripe, small green wire, small black wire, and small yellow and black stripe wire. i have the green and black and green to ground, yellow/black stripe to ignition controlwire on radio, black and red wire to constant on radio and small black not hooked up
