I have a '98 Taurus with 3.0 Duratec. I've had it about a year and a half and only had to keep the oil changed. But now that I've decided to add a CD changer, I've made myself a problem.
I removed the rear chassis unit from the trunk, so I could match up the connectors for the changer. (It puts out a signal on FM, that get's patched into the antenna line.) When I put the unit back in, everything on the radio is now dead.
The shop manual lists some checks. It says to check a couple wires on the power to the radio in-dash unit (switched and unswitched power), and to check power at the fuse holders, and to check the fuses (Three different fuses). All those check out OK. The next step in the diagnostic says to "restore vehicle." Sounds like some sort of reset for the electronics.
Does anyone here know how to handle this? Or is this something that will need to be done at the dealer?
