I have a 2002 Ford Escape, will these plug right in to the factory setup(it says "custom fit for Ford and Mazda)? or will I have to cut wires? Thanks!

I bought them for my mustang with Mach 460 speakers and had to cut off the factory plugs because they were proprietary. Not a big deal though. I don't know what your factory setup looks like though. I have an extra box of the speakers if you'd like to buy them cheaper.. Brand new

Crutchfield.com sells the proper conversion if you do not want to cut and solder the connections. It is just two wires and not a big deal to cut and solder or wire cap new wires.

No. You will have to cut the factory connector off and splice it by hand. Or buy a aftermarket connector then it would jut "plug in". You may have to use some foam tape to make the speaker sit out of the hole a little more. (I had too for my 2009 ford focus, the magnet was hitting my window when it rolled down.) I love these speakers thoe way! Better than stock.

This really doesn't answer your question, but for what it's worth. I think when they say custom fit they mean size, either way so what if you have to cut wires they sound goooood.

Don't know if this helps...I installed mine on a 2005 Ford Escape and it worked.

It did not. I installed it myself in an 2008 ford escape. Then I went to a truck and trailer store and had it wired. With wire kit and installation it was around $80

This item is made to plug in to a prewire factory outlet/socket. If you vehicle already has one, there is not wiring involved. It just plugs in and you attach with four screws. If you vehicle does NOT have the harness/plug you will need to purchase the both pieces and wire it into the light circuits. Probably best left to an expert.

If you hook these to your factory radio, they will be a huge improvement over the factory ones, but if you really want them to shine get an aftermarket amp / head unit.If you are comfortable splicing wires, you should have no problems hooking these up. Just Google the wiring diagram so that you can make sure that you connect the right wires to the correct terminals.

id have to know how you have them wired wat u have them wired up my recommendations hard wire with a switch or splice with factory wiring if you are using them as backup lights

The wires are already crimped with female connectors that fit the male ones on the speakers. The wires are extra long so unless you own a motor home you should be able to run the wires anywhere in a car or truck. If you don't want to cut just coil up the extra where there is room behind a panel or cover.

On my 2004 F150 Ford truck I had to make modifications to make it work as it did not plug into my factory headlight plug.I used T - taps on the trucks wire harness and crimped on terminals on the HID wire harness to plug into the T- taps. I don't know if this helps you any or not but I've had to do tha same thing previously on another HID kit as well.

These come with a set of wires with spade terminals on them. The end of the wires are tinned and setup to be installed directly to an amp.or soldered to an existing wire. If you don't want to cut factory wiring a harness adapter or quick splice will be needed.

The electrical connections are all made to the factory Ford mirror wiring inside the doors of your vehicle. Plug style connectors are installed in the Fit System mirrors that match the connectors on your Ford, so it really is a "plug and play" installation. According to the local Ford dealer, all 2009 through 1014 F - 150's have identical (inside the door) wiring provisions. An adapter is provided with the Fit System mirrors to accommodate 2004 through 2008 models. My Ford was not factory equipped with "puddle lamps" but the Fit System mirrors are. They work perfectly, without any modification to the factory wiring.

I'm not exatcly sure what the slot in your dash looks like, where the stereo goes, but if anything, all you may need to get a dash kit, for your car......and it is always good to get the wire harness, for any vehicle that you're installing a stereo in. Also....I always use end connectors, on head units....they're small, so the don't take up much room, behind your head unit, and they provide good continuity.

These worked perfectly in my 2006 Ford Escape. Just pushed one end of the seatbelt 'tack' through the hole left from the factory seatbelt stop coming off, and pushed the fastener on the other side. It snapped tight and has worked perfectly with no issues.

I don't know because mine was not pre-wired. They fit in perfect, work perfect & look perfect. They had to be wired from the lights & a switch put in because mine was not prewired.

Hi Ann, I bought these on the off-chance that they would fit my Australian made Ford. They work a treat! Just make sure that they fit and heat the pointy bit so it doesn't scratch you. Cheers Rob from downunder
