I just recently purchased a Pioneer DEH P4100 stereo and connected all the wires, plugged it in, turned the key and the stereo powered up but no sound. I am suspecting that it is the one wire which I didnt know where to connect, this being the Amp ground. The stereo had a wire for all of the wires on the wiring harness except for that ground. Where does it go? I had the stock Premium Sound System that came with 1997 Explorers. Any help on how to get my sound working would be greatly appreciated.

I Think I figured it out
Well, I think I figured it out, I read an earlier post mentioning the amp turnon wire. I spliced that with the red stereo power wire and got sound. Was this the wrong thing to do? The wires did not get hot and no fuses blew so I think its ok...

I have installed a few stereos on Fords and if there is a stock amp....sometimes you need to bypass it...For the speaker harness...It may be like 1 foot of the trucks wires after you connect it to the new head unit...You need to cut out that 1 foot section and use the next connector....That is how I think it would work if I'm understanding you right....Hope this helped....Pete

The amp has a 'trigger' wire which turns it on. Even if the amp has power, if that wire isn't connected you won't get sound. I had the same problem a few years ago. The trigger wire sends a signal to the amp when the head unit powers on and then turns on the amp. Your current wiring setup should work fine.
