I just got a Premium radio from a 1998 Ford Ranger part# F87F-18C868-DD. I installed it and it was like there was no power at all, not with the door open or with ignition on and power button pressed. Nothing. I swapped out the power supply board that I had replaced in another radio a year ago with a new one. It still did nothing when I hooked it back up. Almost like it wasn't getting ground. Then I did notice this ground tab on the back. Any idea where it leads to? I tried rigging up a ground wire and touching anything metal under the dash but maybe I never found a good ground. Does anyone know exactly where the factory ground would be that connects to that tab? I've got the 98 Ranger radio wiring diagram and it shows 3 grounds made into the 16 PIN connector already. Do you still need the ground wire connected to this tab? Anyone know how to bench test these?
