Ok, so I just installed a new JVC CD Player into the wifes 88 LX Convertible Mustang. It powers on when you move the key into the on position and switches off (with its cute little goodbye message) when you remove the key so the power wiring is all in order. However, when I attempt to play radio or CD, there is no sound output.
I checked the two fuses (6 and 11 if memory serves) that are listed as being involved with the radio according to the fuse panel cover. I used a volt meter on the left front speaker (in dash) and got 23mV of power when the car is switched on, 0mV when off. However, it does not increase/decrease with the volume being turned up and down. The volt meter on the left rear (in interior 1/4 panel) reads 0mV no matter what.
The following info may/may not aid responses.
- The previous factory AM/FM radio had worked just fine
- I have just replaced the entire interior
- The car has now been converted to a mass air setup (hey, its wiring changes!)
- The car previously had an alarm in it
- The car has 6 speaks (two in dash, two in doors, two in interior 1/4 panels)
I have the wiring diagram made by tmoss from veryuseful.com but I dont know if this Mustang has premium sound or not. Any help/troubleshooting advice would be very appreciated!
*edit*
I just snagged the connector packs (for 86-whatever Fords) from Best Buy and wired them color to color as stated in the instructions. There isnt something weird with these cars that would cause you not to wire it color/color is there? Also, I did not connect up the blue/white and blue wires for power antenna and whatever else. Those run to the connector that supplies power and not the speaker connector anyways.
