Amalan Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 im trying to install a headunit into a 1996 jeep grand cherokee limited and im having some issues. i bought the harness for it and just sorta started color matched the wires hopefully thats right. it has the infinity gold system stock so it has a stock amp apart from the stock radio. i was lookin on installdr.com for my car and they said if it came with that system then plug the ground of the new headunit into the ground of the stock amplifier and it should kick on the stock amplifier but nothing happened. the headunit itself powers on and does everything just theres no sound coming out. when i plug back in the stock headunit the sound kicks on. what am i doing wrong here? i crimped on a connector to the new headunits ground and plugged it into the stock amp ground that was previously connected to the stock radio and it didnt kick on... i am really confused as to why theres no sound coming out. its really dark outside so i will try to mess with it again tomorrow but the only wires i did not connect or color match are the ground from the harness, illumnation dash light from the harness, and power antenna from the harness. im not sure if im suppose to have the remote amp turn on lead from the harness hooked up the remote turn on lead from the headunit but i do.

Coolwazabi Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 maybe if you hook the yellow to the red + the red "from HU" it'll work... thats what i had to do on my caddy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean 371 Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 power antenna and dash illumination are normally ignored. you have to make sure your remote wire is connected though that tells the stock amp to turn on. That might take some trial and error...I know on my car I had to connect my remote to two different wires, not including my amps. Just keep messing with it, stock systems are a bitch.

Amalan Posted June 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 http://installdr.com/InstallDocs/Jeep/PDF/533013.pdf hm thats telling me that the ground wire is the remote turn on wire so im wondering if i need to even have the remote turn on plugged in or not.
