I had the same problem. I also have a cassette deck. I stuck my pinky figer in the deck hole and assisted cassette carriage down, then I pressed the "eject". To my surprise, the radio came on. I had been riding in silence for 3 weeks until then. On the other hand, I'm still looking for a new stereo that will fit the same hole. Having difficulty.
you need to make sure tat the factory amp power (remote turn on) wire is connected using the blue wire off of the afermarket radio
Then your radio probably isn't grounded properly.
No, speakers do not have a fuse. But if hooked up to an amp, there should be a fuse somewhere on the power wire connecting to your battery. If no amp, check radio fuse. If no sound but the stereo comes on it might be that your speaker wires are'nt hooked up correctly.
under the dash in your fuse panel . it will say radio .
Amplifiers are on the speakers in the door. Otherwise its just in the am/fm/stereo unit
Your wires are not connected from your radio to speakers probally
Your speakers are not balanced. There should be settings for the speakers on the stereo that you can adjust for bal (balance) bass, treble etc. The balance # between these left and right speakers should be the same. If the volume is still imbalanced after adjusting the controls, there may be a problem in one of the speakers or in the radio.
not your everyday factor radio that comes with a car...but, after market yes..
just so you know when i put a new stereo in my aerostar i had to run new wires to the stereo speakers because the stock stereo had a common ground so one ground for two speakers i damn near fried the deck figuring that out hopefuly you wont.
If the radio is not working on a 1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport it might be a blown fuse. Try the CD player to see if that works. If the CD player works then it might be an antenna problem.
Regarding music: A stereo system has a stereo amplifier which has two output channels (left and right). The system has two speakers (left and right), and some kind of input device such as a turn table or a cd player or a radio tuner. The signal from the input device goes into the amplifier, it is amplified, and is heard through the two speakers.
A aux input may be the easiest way to listen to your ipod through your car speakers but it is not the only way. Many manufactures make FM transmitters that will allow you to broadcast your ipod over a FM radio channel that you can then pick up on your car radio. If you do not have a aux input FM transmitters are the best way to play your ipod over your stereo speakers.
