So in my 2011 ford ranger xlt, I decided to remove that factory head unit and install a double din aftermarket head unit. My questions are, what is the second harness for? do I need to worry about doing anything with it or is it just simply for the accessories that were in the stock radio? It's next to nothing finding any information on a radio wiring diagram for a 2011 ford ranger. I'm assuming it can be referenced with a 2004 model because according to the VIN it says the Vehicle line is "VLR30 - Ranger (2004/)"
This is the only diagram I found that references the two harnesses that are behind the radio. "J1" was the one I used to connect the harness from the aftermarket headunit to the factory harness.
"J3" is the one i'm unsure of on if I need to make sure I connect all the wires or need a specific one from there connected.
