7 hours of trouble shooting and wanting to return my radio and this man calls me out on my diy stuff and fixes my life. You're amazing and thank you

[@yoyobum9294]

Hahaha I was wondering myself.. usually I have a bad ground... But a ground would cause power up issues.. so I was stuck... Glad I searched because I was about to run an amp and say screw it. Because single din DVD are hard to find

Sent one radio back, ordered another, still no sound. After lots of frustration, hours of work and lots of sweat… this finally gave us an answer and a WORKING system!! Thank you!

While you did cram a 30 second video into 7 minutes, you saved me a ton of time. I was ready to return a replacement radio because of no sound. I touched my AMP wire to power and there was the sound. Thank you!

Glad it worked. The extra time was necessary to save some amatures some grief by NOT cutting into their factory wires.

It's like asking for directions, none of us really have wanted to do it, to stubborn, too ego driven, and perhaps too bigheaded to look for help. I just spent 2 days rewiring all my speakers to no prevail, and then boom, I asked, and you showed me the way. Lessons learned. Thanks for the help man.

[@Salvadorean11thst]

YOURE A LIFE SAVER THANK YOU!! I was about to return my new radio, dash kit, and harness. You’re the best

[@TiamatX]

Hey man, cool video... but just FYI, Power Antenna (blue) and Remote (blue white) are both just 12v outputs. If your radio harness doesn't have one or the other, it would be preferable to hook both the vehicle harnesses blue & blue white to the radios single blue wire. The only difference from what you recommend here is that the red, 12v acc, is an input to the radio. So if the fuse blew on the radio, the amp would still get power, and that is not ideal.

[@ganktuh]

[@randyrussell4794]

I spent hours searching for the right answer. Took the new head unit out checked the checked and rewired the harness multiple times. Even got into the factory amp.

If you still have this explorer, make sure you put a 12v to 5v adapter for your amp since ford uses 5v on theor factory amps, if your speakers have started to pop on startup, this is why

Either speaker grounded or factory amp failer....pull radio out get a test speaker and hook it up directly on the radio and see if you have sound....if you do then bad amp if not cut the ground on each speaker wire at the radio and see if sound comes on if it does then its a speaker ground short.
