Does anyone know where schematics of the 1998 Ranger CD/radio can be obtained?

I use a Sirius radio exclusively now but would rather the audio go directly into the dash radio than use the Sirius FM transmitter (the selected Sirius transmission freq is often interfered with by a local station at or near that freq.). I would imagine it is possible to plug my sirius output into the radio where the CD portion is connected to the 'radio amplifier/selector' so that selecting the CD on the radio's buttons would, in fact, select the Sirius output.

I could experiment with this situation but I much prefer having a 'roadmap'.

 

I would pic up a auto repair manual at the auto parts store like a chilton's or haye's. One or the other have wiring diagram's in the rear of the book.

 

not looking for a wiring diagram for the vehicle, I am looking for a schematic for the radio. I want to open up the radio and tap into its circuits so that my Sirius sattlelite radio can be plugged into it.

 

Sorry I misunderstood you. Mabey Sirius has someting you can use insted of doing this.

 

I would skip all that and use an adapter from these guys

They have an adapter for the 98 ranger P/N FRDN-AUX. This only works though if your head unit has CD changer capability

it cost me about $80 for my mustang.
