Default 97 explorer radio

I am at my wits end!

My radio worked fine. No issues. Next day got in car and radio was dead. No lights, no sound.

I bought a new radio XO Vision brand.

I bought a Schoshe wiring kit and wired it up according the instructions.

I have power. There are lights and everything but no sound. No static. Nothing.

Someone please help.

There are posts about the amp...not sure if i have one. Mine is the 97 explorer that had the 6cd changer in the console.

There is a blue wire left over and the orange one. (orange is for illumination so i assume i dont need this.)

What am I missing?

Welcome to the site..

Amp would be above the R/wheel house behind the trim panel. Would be a 30amp mini fuse out in the Power distribution box, position1.

LB/R is always illumination. (light blue/red tracer) Does the orange have a trace color?
