Yes it is the factory radio. The power turns on. I can change the stations. Everything is normal just no sound from the speakers.

Would you happen to know what fuse it would be?

I agree, take a look at the fuse page in your owners manual. My 95 Taurus has 2 radio fuses & 2 radio grounds. One ground is under the hood near driver side shock tower & one under the dash near the steering column.(yours might be different) Check the fuses & the grounds. An electrical trouble shooting manual from www.helminc.com would come in handy.

sorry. don't know which fuse.
if you have a test light dc. i turn on key, hook test light to good ground, then check each side of fuse for power.
if one side dose'nt light up pull fuse to see if it's blown in half.
check all fuses even under hood

All fuses look good so I am guessing it is the amp. Thanks for the help.
