I have the truck listed above ext cab without the Bose system. I have had several after market stereos in here for the past 10 years. About a month ago the audio just stopped playing. The stereo worked fine just no sound. So I thought that it was the stereo so I replaced it. I still have no audio from any of my door speakers. Please help!

Hello,

Can you please check and make sure that the antenna is plugged in. A lot of times the antennae is used as a secondary ground for the head unit. Also could you check for an open in the black/white wire that is highlighted in the wiring diagram that I have included in the diagrams down below. I have also included a guide for how to find opens in an automotive electric circuit as well as how to find unwanted resistance with a method called the Voltage Drop method. Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex
