Metra 72-5600 Ford Speaker Harness 1998-UP - Black/white

Swapped 6x8 speakers in 11 Ford Ranger. Super fast switch over. Click click done

The number one thing these reviews have said is that the wires are pinned into the connector incorrectly. This is true, the negative wire on these does not match up with the negative on the body harness. BUT THERE IS NO NEED TO CUT OR SOLDER ANYTHING TO FIX THIS. Normally I would suggest de-pinning the Metra connectors but I couldn't quite tell how they de-pinned and I was concerned about the quality of the connector in switching the pins (this was valid, read on). The easiest thing to do to make these work properly is to de-pin the body harness. All you need is a small flat blade screwdriver and some patience.1. First thing you want to do is disconnect the stock speaker and throw it away.2. Then focus in on on the body harness connector, you will see a red locking mechanism (plastic), there is also a red gasket there (rubber) so look close. Stick your flat blade screwdriver between the plastic lock and rubber seal to pry the plastic lock up (see pictures).3. Once the lock is popped up, you then need to pull it straight out, you can user the screwdriver but I would suggest a small needle nose. It should come easily, just make sure to pull straight and not break it.4. Now that you have the locking tab off the connect. Look inside and you will see the two pins and a small space above them (sorry didn't take a picture). If you look even closer there is a little tab that needs to be lifted to release the pin. The best way to do this is to get your hands on the wire and connector in a way that you can apply a slight pull force on the wire while trying to lift the tap inside the connector. It can be a little funky at first but just be patient, just remember you are trying to lift the tab AND pull the wire at the same time so as soon as the tab is lifted high enough the wire will release. No need to yank on the wire, if its not coming easily then the tab is still holding it. Remember light constant pull on the wire while prying the connector.5. Repeat for the second pin.6. Replace pins back into the connect into their new positions by simply sliding them in. No tools needed.7. Replace the red locking tabby simply pushing it back into place, and you are ready to go! No cutting or soldering needed!The other reason I gave these a four star instead of five was that one of them just didn't fit right in either door. The pins would not seat correctly and eventually I pushed hard enough that one of the pins in the metra connector popped out and couldn't be locked back in. I was able to manipulate it enough to get it connected and used some shrink tube to secure in place. Works but seems like a QC issue, then again these are only $8 so

Lo compré porque en la foto de la descripción era muy parecido al arnés original Chevrolet, para mi buena sorpresa, aunque no queda a la perfección por la forma que no es exactamente igual, si funciona muy bien y cumple con su cometido; un poco de cinta tela y quedó excelente, mi auto es un Chevrolet Onix 2021 para mejor referencia. Éstos los usé en las puertas delanteras, seguro los compraré nuevamente para las puertas traseras.

Llegaron en tiempo y forma, es lo que describe el vendedor y quedaron muy bien lo único como comentó otro comprador los pines no estaban alineados con el contacto del carro pero solo los “empujé” un poco hacia adentro con un desarmado y listo!! Entro perfecto

Perfect for aftermarket speaker upgrades. Easy to install and were the exact fit. No issues with audio or connection either.
