Radio Wires

Hi I recently purchased a 1996 ford taurus and I pulled my Pioner 6 disc CD player out of my old car and got it mounted and ran the remote up front now I need to figure out what color is the Acessery wire and 12 volt constint

Are you looking for accessory and constant wires in the trunk or in the cabin where the remote is?

I figured insted of running wires to the front the trunk unit would be esierso trunk unit

Pin 14 of C478 (red/yellow wire) at the Rear Control Unit is battery power. It is powered by 20 amp fuse 17 in the engine compartment fuse/relay panel.

From the factory wiring diagram it's not completely clear if the Red/Pink wire in terminal 10 of the same connector is a switched battery signal to the power antenna or not. I'd suggest you test that. If that one doesn't work, then you might try pin 17 (red/black) of the other connector (C411) which is labeled as "Ign/St" but is shown to only be hot with the key in "Start", not ACC or Run.
