H/u turns on but no sound

[JEMT8]

The vehicle is an 01 chevy impala. I just did all te wiring for the harness and it powers up but no sound comes from the speakers. I checked the wiring over and over again and it all looke correct. Any other ideas wat this could be?

i axctually did a install on a 03 but it was the bigger motor one then mine, the one that comes with a stock amp and i had that same problem, i just connected wires together and got it to work.. but when i did my 02 it was easy since it does not come with a stock amp... but yeah the stock amp under the rear deck lid has to be working for the speakers to work, took me like 4 hours to figure it out

Did yours have the bose system? This one doesnt have bose, onstar, or steerng controlls. Forgot to mention that.

then i think that one is like mine, does it have an amp under the rear deck lid? , if not then i dont see why its got no speaker out put.i just printed the graph out off of google and then just sautered my wires together and it still plays fine

yeah. It has the amp under the rear deck. I just checked. So Do i have to bypass this somehow?

no there should be a pink wire in the radio harness. connect that to the blue with white coming out of the back of your radio and boom u have sound

ahh i see yeah mine is teh lower version of that one with the smaller motor(i guess) and yeah there is a wire that powers the amp up and its hooke dup like this,

it goes the wires from the deck to the wire harness, and then from the wire harness to the amp and from the amp the signal goes to the speakers. so you have to find out which wire powers that little amp, i totally forgot sorry bro, but try googling it i was kind of connecting wire by wire until i got it right, its a PITA

edit: also could be what T-money said...because i hooked the pink wire up and my car didnt wanna start lol, so try that if your car doesnt start then disconnect it lol

There is a free blue/white wire on the harness but there is no other free wires besides that one. Would I be able to splice into the switchable 12v wire on the harness?
