ford radio problem, 95 conversion van

By any chance, was there a CD in it at the time?

No there was not..
No cd.. the "BAD" only shows up when we try playing the radio, and set the
stations into memory.

went out to the van, and checked.. No CD in radio.. As soon as I turned on
the van with the key, the word BAD appeared in the digital display.

In all of my years installing radios in cars I've never seen that one come
up on a Ford radio to date.  First thing I would do is pull the radio out
and make sure you have power both with the ignition on and with it off.  If
you need a pin out I can send you a link.  The constant 12+ wire is on the
grey plug and usually it's light green with a yellow chaser wire if I
remember correctly.  But Ford changes wire colors and also being a
conversion van the conversion company might have used their own wires.  Back
to the plug..if you look at the plug from the back side, the constant 12+
will be in the first pin on the left with the retaining clip being top.  ACC
is 3rd in line.  If you want to make sure the link that you can use for the
pin out for the power is :
