Are you using the RCA preouts or do you have your speakers wired directly to the head? Also what kind of car is this in?

ive got teh same problem. I have a Clarion DX425 in a 98 Toyota Corolla...its all setup right, with the exception of the Illumination Lead and the Amplifier turn on lead. I cannot find where to plug these in. The instructions say the Illuminatino should connect to the car power supply terminal for illumination, and the Amplifier turn on lead, to the remote turn-on lead of amplifier. I cant find either of them.

You dont need to hook up the amp remote wire or the illumination just tape them up and stash them behind the dash . Now have you tryied it do you get sound?

Here is a diagram for your car up above. Sorry thought you had a 88 yes I believe you have a factory amp. And yes you have an illumination connection it should be the green wire in your factory radio harness. As far as hooking up the factory amp I am not sure what color wire you need to splice into. You will need a voltage tester to figure out what wire is supplying the switched 12 volt to your amp. You might want to make a post in the vehicle info forum on the 12volt and ask what color the remote turn on from the factory amp is.
