i just bought a used jvc from and friend and have been trying to install it in my 1999 dodge ram 1500. so i went out and bought a wiring harness from wal mart. i connected all the wires together but i only get power to the head unit and no sound will come out any of the speakers. with the stock stereo everything works fine. i was just wondering if anyone has had the same problem or if i doing something wrong.

 

do you have the infinity system? i herd something about there being a factory amp that has to me turned on and the stock one duz but aftermarket duzent also are you shure the sterieo you bought works lol you sed its used

 

ya i have the infinity system. you dont happen to know where the amp is do you??
the stereo worked in my friends car..

 

the amp is behind the glove box i think

 

If I remember correctly you have to hook up both of the remote wires(blue) coming from the harness. One turns the tuner on and the other turns the amp on. I didn't have the infinity system and still had to do this. Kind of wierd.[&:]

 

where do i hook the blue wires to because i think all the stock wires are hooked up.

 

well im glad you decided to use a wire harness. i bought a new head unit and tried wiring up myself my splicing the wires and all. turned out i had all the wires backwards and fired the head unit [:@] so i got a new one and payed circuit city 100 bucks to install it for me. i didnt understand the dodge wiring colors at all so i got it all screwed up.

That tells wat wire to hook up to get the factory amp to work.
