This is page 130-10 of a Ford factory wiring diagram set, titled "Radio, High Level Audio or JBL With CD Player." It shows the electrical wiring between the CD player, the radio, and the vehicle's power and ground circuits for the high-level (JBL) audio system. Power comes from the instrument panel fuse panel: fuse 8 (15A, hot at all times) and fuse 11 (20A, hot in accessory or run), feeding circuits 54 (LG/Y) and 137 (Y/BK) through connector C257. The diagram details connectors C259, C262, C265, C287, C280, C281, and C257, splices S258 and S263, and grounds G203 and G103. Circuit numbers and wire colors are given, including 595 LB/R, 747 O/LB, 434 LB/BK, 484 O/BK, 19 LB/R (instrument illumination), speaker circuits 277 LB/BK, 859 Y, 278 P/W, 855 LB, 279 W/R, 858 BR, 280 LG, 857 W/O, logic mute circuit 689/68 DB, and grounds 694 R and 57 BK. The radio connector pin functions are labeled for all four speaker signal pairs (LF/RF/LR/RR, + and -), knob illumination feed, logic mute, and grounds. Cross-references point to power distribution (pages 13-10, 13-16), radio pages 130-5 and 130-7, instrument illumination pages 71-3/71-4, and grounds pages 10-9, 10-13.
