I own a '98 Tracer and would assume it is the same as a '97. There are two holes on either side of the radio. Many Ford radios have these holes. Two special "U" shaped tools need to be inserted into these holes and this will release the radio, (you should be able to find these tools at any stereo shop). Then just unplug the wiring harnesses (there are 6-7) and the temperature adjustment cable.
To fix the radio in a 1997 Mercury Tracer, start by checking the fuse related to the radio in the fuse box, as a blown fuse can cause it to stop working. If the fuse is intact, inspect the wiring harness and connections at the back of the radio for any loose or damaged wires. If everything appears intact, you may need to remove the radio and test it with a multimeter or replace it if it's malfunctioning. Reinstall the radio and reconnect all components securely to ensure proper functionality.
Remove the decorative radio retaining plate. Remove the radio retaining screws. Remove the wiring harness, from the back of the radio.
Remove the covers to your 1997 radio speakers. Remove the radio speaker retaining screws. Remove the wiring harness from the back of the radio speakers. Reverse the process to install your new radio speakers.
