Just replaced my factory premium head unit with another factory unit because I wasn't getting any sound from my speakers. The replacement unit works fine, but I'm not getting any sound at all. No crackles, static...nothing. Any ideas?

also, if you disconnected the rear audio controls or messed with the wiring under your center console will mess with the audio...

Good information

This is a 6 year old thread and I doubt any of the members on this thread are still active.

Keep in mind that the mini fuse block was only used in the 97 and 98 model years

I recently had this same problem, turned out all of my speakers were busted, replaced my speakers with factory speakers from a junk yard and got them working. Took it to an audio store and was told the radio needed to be replaced that it could've been the amp that went bad.
