I've tried all sorts of searches on google, but can't find anything.

looking good either. - Scott Adams
Took me hours to work it all out, but you were correct.
Brown to chassis/negative
Red permanent 12 volt for memory
Yellow = 12 volt from ignition switch
Grey/yellow button illumination (fed from side lights)
Red/white feed for electric car aerial
This is for a Ford 2005, taken from a 1991 Sierra Sapphire LX. I know its
the same for a Ford 2001 and 2007 radio too and no doubt many others.
Looking at back of radio. The left 7 pin socket is the power side.
Top pin is permanent 12 volts for keycode and channel memory, then:
No connection
12 volt feed from ignition switch radio position (yellow)
Feed for button illumination at night (feed from side lights) (Grey/Yellow)
No connection
Negative (Brown)
Bottom pin is for 12 volt feed to electric aerial (12 volts when radio
switched on) (Red/White)
The other connector (closest to side of radio) has 8 pins and is the
speakers.
Top pin
Left Rear + (Black/Yellow)
Left Rear - (Black/White)
Left Front + (Green/Yellow)
Left Front - (Green/White)
Rear Right + (Brown/Yellow)
Rear Right - (Brown/White)
Right Front + (Red/Yellow)
Right Front - (Red/White)
Bottom pin
The colours are for the wires going into the plugs from the car wiring loom.
Thanks for posting this; there are a number of pinouts for Ford radios
generally on-line, but the speaker connections are at variance with your
findings:

Remove prejudice to reply.
Oh how useful that link would have been if I could have found it on Google.
Still useful for the iso connectors though, so thanks. I have just carefully
rechecked the speaker connections and for the Ford 2005 and my connections
are correct for normal operation of the balance and front/rear fader
controls. IE fader fully anti clockwise for front. Perhaps there were
variants of connections?
