92 Explorer...no sound

I have a 92 Explorer with a factory AM/FM cassette player. When I bought the Explorer the previous owner kept the afternmarket stereo. I know the aftermarket radio worked, but it sounded bad. I bought a factory radio and installed it. Everything works...it will change stations, volume goes up and down, but no sound. Is there an inline fuse to the amp in the back? Ideas?

check your wire loom and make sure the previouse owner didn't switch anything around. Where did you get the factory radio? It may have something wrong with it? Also, you are still running an amp in the back? Is it aftermarket? Check the grounds and power to it as well.

Did you hook up the speaker wire harness?

"""You still may have a blown fuse to the amp. I would def. check that out. This might be another long shot but, If the person you bought it from had an aftermarket stereo in it before you bought it they might have bypassed the amp. And I would guess that if it has an amp your deck might not actually have any power output of it's own and that's why you're not getting any sound. So you might have to unhook the bypass that's on the amp and plug it back in the way it's supposed to be. Don't know but it sounds good! Unless you have a loose wire in your harness somewhere or maybe the deck you got is shot."""

I assume this is the post you referred to? I'm not at all familiar with the stereo system, so I am working blind whenever I do anything with this thing.
Is there a fuse inline, or would it be one in the fuse box? I will have to pull the rear panel and see if I can find where the amp may have been disconnected or bypassed, I guess.

There should be a fuse for it in the fuse panel. If there is a fuse. If the amp has been bypassed it will be totally unplugged and there will be a wire harness with 2 ends on it and about 8 wires in it that's about 8-12" long plugged in instead. (bypassing the amp) Hopefully that makes sense. It sounds more complicated than it is. Please be sure to ask if you don't understand.
