Hello all, wasn’t sure how to word the title but I’ll get into it. I’ve just gotten a ‘97 ranger with a cassette and cd player radio and pulled it out cause it wasn’t working. Looking at the connectors in the dash it’s two long 90 degree connectors I assume for a base cassette only radio. The current radio has two square connectors. There’s also an adapter for both original connectors that go to an 18 pin for an aftermarket unit but I can’t find anything on that. I guess my main question is does anyone know of an adapter harness to make the current radio work? Or would it be worth it to get the correct radio for the plugs? Maybe just aftermarket? I don’t enjoy wiring diagrams Thanks for any help and sorry if this has been asked before I haven’t found much of anything from my googling
