UPDATE -
After buying the second deck for my wife's Pathfinder, I decided I must find a way to bypass the parking brake switch. The best solution was to install a simple 12V relay ($4.99 each at Advanced Auto). You will also need female terminal connectors and some wire. I spent $22.43 for...
I just pulled the trigger and bought all the parts listed above.
On a budget (I'M paying for my son's repairs) so the SS lines are out, but it would have been a good idea...
I'm actually having the local Mustang shop do the work. My back and neck were injured when the idiot pulled out in...
Thanks guys...OK, can you follow me through this list of parts to be sure I am getting the correct items? I'm shopping at www.discountbrakes.com (see the individual links below)
Rear drums - PBR REAR BRAKE DRUM - DIRECT OE REPLACEMENT
1985 FORD RANGER BASE 4 CYL 2.3L, Part # W0133-1631869...
My son's 92 5.0L vert had a 5 lug swap done by the previous owner. It has drums in the rear and discs up front. I need to buy new drums, discs, pads, shoes...what year should I be shopping for?
Thanks!

Shifting the T5 / T45, regardless of whether it's an aftermarket shifter or OEM, is like a baseball bat in a rain barrel compared to the TR-3650. That said, I dig the old, the original Power Tower that is the Pro 5.0 shifter. Solid as a rock!
Here ya go. I like the lack of knobs and buttons...just a thin strip along the bottom. Very clean looking. This is a great deck...good clean power, and smart, logical menus and navigation. I love it.
DISREGARD - issue resolved. A quick call to Crutchfield told me that the harness connects to the SWL and SWR RCA jacks, and the blue wires tie into the blue/ white striped wire from the Pioneer harness. I'm now rockin'!
Here is a pic of the wiring harness...again, I am talking about the smaller of the two...the one with 2 RCA jacks. If I do have to plug this into the car's existing harness and into the stereo, what do I do with the blue wires?
Well I took you advice txredgt, and pulled the console. As you mentioned there are 2 screws behind the shifter bezel, then 2 more under the arm rest. I propped the console's ass end with a circa 8" piece of 2x2 wood and quickly found the lt blue and black wire from the pass side.
My next...
Thanks guys...but what a PITA. OK, so if I decide to go the route of installing it as instructed, where the heck is the parking brake wire? They say it's connected to the parking brake itself, but how do you access it? Don't tell me I have to remove the entire console...
