I have a 2001 dodge dakota with the factory am/fm cd player. Its the quad cab model and the tweates and speakers say infinity on them. The factory radio stopped working and I have purchased a new pioneer cd player for it with the a new wiring kit. The radio comes on but no music plays. If I hook up a sperately wired speaker the unit plays fine. I have doubled check my wiring and everything seems fine. I have even borrowed a factory radio and it also works.

Whats going on here? Is there a seperate amp in my system? If so How do I disconnect?

thanks

hi,

i think your factory amp isn't being turned on. connect the remote out (blue/white?) to the amplifier trigger lead in the harness. should fix the problem. the amplifier is located under dash, above the right kick panel, to the right of the glove box.
