Stuck, Don't know what to do now???

[Glen4X4]

I'm confused, today i went to walmart and got a stereo adapter and then had to exchange it cuz the guy from the place that makes the adapters said mine has an amp so got another one hooked up the wires to the stereo and pluged the 2 plugs into the explorer and the stereo turns on its showing its playin through the cd but no sound! I even tried turning on the cd player's internal amp and still nothing, so wtf could be going on here? I wanna get this done before we go out tonite so help me friends I've done idk how many stereos and never ran into this prob. before....


Oh And This Is For The 96

your 96 has a factory amp, you need to power it.
You need to hook up your 96's power wire for the amp to the remote wire from your deck.

Its blue I believe......

Try a search for this sucker, the 96 wiring diagrams are posted

tthe factory amp has to be turned on just like an aftermarket amp

I just want this to sound good at least better than the stock cassette thing

this Haynes manual isn't to helpful to me right now.
