Hey guys, haven't posted in a long time, but i'm having a unique kind of problem with a truck i just purchased. It also plagued the previous two owners.
1991 Ford F-250, XLT. 351 Windsor and ZF Manual transmission, not that i think that would make a difference with this problem.
The guy i got it from could never get the radio to work. This isn't a joke. It has a couple year old JVC head unit, original factory in door speakers. He tried two different local radio install places, neither which could get it to work, so they never charged him for it.
Unit lights up, scrolls through the different stations, and you can put your IPOD on, I Heart Radio, whatever, it seems to work fine, but absolutely no sound comes from the speakers.
I have pulled the radio out and examined the install, they used one of those adapters that plug right into the factory harness, and there is no evidence of hacked / jury rigged wiring or anything like that. I also verified the in-door speakers were not blown out, by taking one out and hooking it to a radio in my garage.
Is there anything that can be checked before just buying two new speakers, bypassing the factory harness and wiring directly to the new head unit's harness?
