Which wire is which?

[harry-the-hairy 10+ year member]

Where would I be able to find a head unit wiring diagram for a ford festiva? I'm installing a head unit in my girlfriend's car and there is like 4 extra wires I have no idea what they are. If anyone could direct me to a site or be able to list all the wire colours and what they are it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

well usually u just match up the wires by color sometimes there are a couple that are left over. but make sure you match them up correctly. usually there is like 2 orange but 1 has a black stripe so you have to keep your eyes open for that. but a festiva thats a hard find try goggle

that anything like trial and error? I know that its hard to spell things correctly, but at least get them phonetically close
