Best Buy told me they had TWO choices for harness adapters to go from the dual deck to a single CD player AND keep the stock amp working. I wasn't sure what I had, so when I pulled my CD player out to put my Wideband in it's place. I pulled the harnesses as well. I'll be taking them into Best Buy to see which of the two adapters I need.
If someone hacked up the factory harness, won't you need that? You could try a salvage yard or ebay if so.

They do make two different types. They will not plug directly into your radio though. You will have to splice the connectors to the radio's wiring harness. Pretty simple and can be done very clean if you use some simple butt connectors.
Ford made two different harnesses. One was like the pic below. It had one grey and on black plug. The gry plug carries all the power and grounds. The black plug carries all the speakers.

The make a second set that still uses the gry plug with the power and ground wires and then they use a second plug that has a metal case and contains shielded wires. This is more of a square plug and it long a long thin plug like the two above.
