Can some one please help me with the wiring for a 91 Ford Explorer XLT. I cannot get sound to my speakers. I have taken the Premium cassette sound system out and am installing a CD player. I have power to the new Stereo but no sound. What I thought was the speaker wires must not be, I have no sound. any help would be great!!!

You should have used the ford eliminator wiring harness--makes the install a piece of cake.

you might need to bypass the factory amplifier, and that's where it really comes in handy to have the proper harness.

If you've made all the correct connections up at the head unit, you can just buy the amp jumper cable by itself.
