Review on Metra 99 5716 Taurus Sable Harness by Albert Bohimia

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The kit is good, everything seems to be there. Ford on the other hand.

After looking at them in various places I bought these. Everything you need to get started is included in the box, including a new wiring harness. I've been installing car radios in cars since I was 14 (I'm much older now) and I'm surprised for the first time. It has nothing to do with this kit, it's a Ford. I didn't understand what that huge wiring harness was for, I decided I would pull out the old radio and hook up the new one straight away; not correct. "Radio" is actually divided into two parts; Radio "head" in the dashboard and the rest IN THE TRUNK. It is under the carpet next to the spare wheel niche on the left (when looking into the trunk). You will need to disconnect the existing connector and connect this new wiring. Then you need to run that new suspension TO THE GEAR. Be prepared to pull the carpet, unscrew things, etc. Also note that there are about 5 different ways they (Ford) wired these things up, so be prepared to do some research.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Requires outlet
