Tools and Materials Needed
- A Phillips head screwdriver
- A flathead screwdriver
- A trim removal tool (or a butter knife)
- Electrical tape
- Replacement radio (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the car. Park your Mondeo in a safe location, turn off the engine, and engage the parking brake.
2. Remove the trim panel. Use the trim-removal tool (or a butter knife) to release the clips holding the trim panel around the radio in place. Start from one corner of the panel and work your way around, being careful not to damage the panel.
3. Remove the screws. Once the trim panel is removed, you will see four screws holding the radio in place. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove these screws.
4. Disconnect the wiring harness. There are two wiring harnesses connected to the back of the radio. Use a flathead screwdriver to release the clips holding the connectors in place and then disconnect the harnesses.
5. Slide out the radio. Once the wiring harnesses are disconnected, slide the radio out of the dash. Be careful not to drop it.
6. Install the new radio (if applicable). If you are installing a new radio, connect the wiring harnesses to the new radio and slide it into place. Secure it with the screws you removed in step 3.
7. Replace the trim panel. Replace the trim panel you removed in step 2, making sure to align the clips correctly.
8. Test the radio. Turn on the car and test the radio to make sure it is working properly.
