First off, why are you trying to "bypass" it? Need to know more. Perhaps you can just not use it. I did an install in a 95 Explorer and basicly just ignore the factory amp.

Should have read your full post. In a 95 it is in the rear right(passenger) side.

i need to bypass it b/c i installed a new head unit which turns on but no sound comes thru the speakers

my friend has a taurus w/ a premium system and he wired directly to all the speakers instead of bypassing it

did you connect the amp turn on wire? ive done explorers that had premium sound and aslong as the amp wire was connected they had audio.

Yeah, try to find the turn on wire at the harness. I've had this problem in a couple chevys too. I would bet that the remote wires aren't connected on them. But you will want to check if the factory amp runs on a 5v turn on instead of the 12v that the aftermarket deck does.

If it is a 5v turn on, here is another persons problem and solution with the ford premium sound 5v turn on

Voltage reduction via resistors?
