Radio removal 1989 Ford crown Victoria base model

[@TheSicWolfGaming]

For sure thought it would be the top 2 but sure enough this helped. Now I just need a good dash kit to replace the old radio. 89 LTD Crown Victoria

[@TheSicWolfGaming]

Also my car seems to have 2 speakers mounted in the dash and 2 in the rear deck. Is it hard to remove the 2 speakers inside the dash.

Thank you that helps a lot I have a 1986 murcury and couldn't figure how to get that panel off for the radio 😀

Thanks, helped me get the radio out in my 89 LX variant.

Thanks man.

Awesome thanks, this is the most similar to mine, installing a radio into my 1994 vic tomorrow

Is it the same for a 1985 grand marquis LS

[@edenschildren4238]

Yes it should be from 79-90 ltd grand marquis etc...

POTUS John H Eden ok. I’m trying to be careful with the trim piece! I got the 2 screws below I’m just nervous for the tabs. I was curious if my piece is the same as yours and comes out as described. Any tips or other references? Thank you!!

@@CE4891 not really its pretty straight forward other than be careful..and when in doubt Google is your friend...good luck...

I'm trying to find something about what wire is which in my 88 grand marquis, Google isn't much help, and I had a red wire bolted to the back of my stock radio, any ideas?

[@edenschildren4238]

Usually any wire bolted to the radio or harness is a ground....but I would defiantly get a test light and see if it was hot....other than that I have no idea why a wire would be bolted to the chassis of the radio....

Darn, mine is a 1990 LX, it is different.

[@edenschildren4238]

Does your radio have 4 holes...two on the right two on the left if so you need a tool to insert in those holes at the same time..I always use a coat hanger bent in a u shape.... once inserted it acts like a key and will unlock the radio and it should slide out...

[@grantw.whitwam9948]

Thanks, but no, the 1990 and 91s are screwed in with 4 screws behind the trim. And the trim is different, it's actually the heater control assembly I need to fix.
