Well, sold the 93' XLT and picked up a SWEET 1994 Explorer Limited (another post on that later) with the JBL Sound System w/sub woofer.
Problem is this, RADIO/CD unit is dead. Pulled unit and it is getting power as the heatsink on the side was pretty hot and could see red laser light inside CD slot.
Bought a harness to connect to the factory head unit connectors and tried hooking up an aftermarket head unit and it powered up, but no sound comes out of the speakers or sub. You do hear a small pop in the speakers when connecting the connector/s but that is it.
Probably missing something and hoping someone might be able to guide me in the right direction to accomplish one of the following:
1. Get a replacements FORD head unit for the car and not pay a fortune.
2. Instruct how I can connect an aftermarket head unit and keep the existing speakers and sub in the back working with no problems
Thanks in advance for any comments or advice.
