Ford Amp Bypass Harness

The Metra Raptor FD-5014 is a plug-in wire harness that bypasses the factory amplifier in select Ford, Lincoln, Mazda and Mercury vehicles. It connects the car harness power and pre-amp outputs directly to the amplifier harness and speaker inputs. The kit includes a power harness, an amplifier integration plug and a bypass cable for a direct connection.

Installers Replacing Factory Amps

This harness suits installers fitting an aftermarket amplifier or head unit in the listed 1989-1997 models where a factory amp is present. It eliminates the need to cut the original wiring loom. Vehicles without a factory amplifier, or models outside the listed year ranges, do not require this bypass and should use a standard ISO adapter instead.

Direct Plug Compatibility

The harness plugs into the vehicle pre-amp harness and the speaker harness at the amplifier location using OE-style connectors. It matches Metra 70-5514, American International FW-H5 and Scosche FDK2B pinouts. Installation requires cutting, tape, crimping tools and connectors supplied separately.
