Answer

Its the same info ,,, for the Expedtion ,,, the F150 shares the same wireing as your truck ,,,so the info I gave you is good ..

 

I would access the radio wires and make sure you have your two powers and your one ground ,,,, if you have this ,,then the problem is in the radio

I do not know if you looked at any of the info I gave you or not but take a look at the pic below again

on the pic above there are two fuses to the radio ,,,fuse 6 and fuse 8 ,,,power from these fuses go to the radio on the black /pink wire and the light green/ purple wire ,,,, so with the truck on ,,,both these wire should have power on them ,,use a test lamp or a volt meter to check this ,,,,,if they both have power then the next thing to check is the ground wire and they are the black wire ,,,and the black / light green wire ,,, they should both have continuity to ground ,,,,, if all this checks out ok,,,, then your problem is in the jumper harness you got or the new radio you got ,,,,
