You are going to have to explain your problem a bit more. What was your original stereo system? Where did you install the ground at? And please don't smoke any dope before you post this time....

My guess is you need to ground the factory amp back through the Z1. Your harness adapter should have provisions for that.

Shaker 1000 is my original radio and my groud is comming from a ground wire that was they original ground for the shaker

When you got your wiring kit... you should have got a 4 pin plug (separate from the main harness) YES..?

OK, the 2 gray wires need to be wired together (with a 4k7 give or take resistor between them)

THEN your amp will turn on properly... IF you just connect the wires together, you amp will THUMP on turn on (not good)

You said you had the factory Shaker 1000 installed...

Please clarify what system you have in place, factory, or aftermarket. without that, any help we're tying to provide will likely be useless.

If you've gone aftermarket for the amp, is there any way you can go back to factory specs?

I can go back to factory amp but now they only thing i use from the factory is the sub woofer i install JL audio and a kicker if i try another radio everything work OK seem like it is the radio that dont give ground to my RCA plug because i just touch them whit ground wire and it work sorry about my english and thank's for your help

How many wiring harness connectors did you get with the wiring kit for the Mustang?

One, or two...

2 one radio and 1 camera harness

man jjust bypass the factory amp and run everything off the deck and after market speakers now your factory amps one controls the tweeters and the other controls the woofer so make sure u get a proper diagram if u attempt to do this

cruthfield should be able to ship to Canada... try them, you never know

OTHERWISE

Try your local audio superstore... It's a Metra Wiring Kit (don't know the metra number though)
