I recently picked up a '90 Cougar 3.8L v-6 LOVE it. I replaced the
factory sterio and after about 5 minutes of driving and listening to
how great it sounded (still stock speakers) The radio and digital dash
went out together compleatly. They are not on the same fuse, but I
pulled every fuse anyway, and they are all un-blown.I have been all
over the internet and found no help (although I did find someone who
had the same exact problem no one answered him). I am thinking ground
wire only because they are so close to each other and on different
fuses. I am clueless with the electricity. I bought the Chiltons
manual but it doesn't have the wiring diagrams for the interior. Can
anyone help?

My guess would be the ignition switch. Forget the aftermarket manual(s)
and get the FACTORY manuals for your car; the Car Shop Manual AND the
EVTM. The source is www.helminc.com or you can look on eBay for used
ones, even FACTORY manuals on CD.
