6G Celicas Forums

I just hooked up my cd player in my 94 Celica ST and turned it on but nothing is coming out of the speakers. All the wires are hooked up correctly and still I get nothing out of the speakers not even a pop or anything its like nothing is there. Is there a factory amp or somthing that could be blown? I need to know anything. thanks

yes there is a factory amp. it is located right under the part that the stereo mounts. listen, did you use a wireing harness. it doesnt sound like you did because in order to make the wireing harness fit to the factory plugs you would have had to bypass the fact. amp. so if you didnt use a wireing harness that probably means that the wires where just cut the spliced together. and that would be a good reason that the speakers dont work. because you wouldnt have spliced into the speaker wires, you would have spliced into the amp wires instead. if thats not the case then tell me more about the install and i can probably give you the answer. you can get me here or send me an e-mail.

I have the wiring harness but I only used it to see which wire is which that way I wouldnt screw somthing up. The guy before had cut the wires and put his radio in that way and then when he sold it just pulled out the radio and left all the wires there but left the factory harness with little wires hanging out and cut. I dont know what to do

if he cut thr wires there is still a chance that the harness is still in the car. check the harness and see if the cut wires are connested to another set of wires by a plastic clip. if so, he didnt cut the cars wireing harness, he instead cut the harness from the back of his stereo. i bought a car where the owner had done the same thing. or there is a chance that he did not use the harness from the factory amp. if you locate the amp the factory wireing harness should be underneath it. just unplug them from the amp and you will bipass the other wires and be useing the correct wireing harness. if these wires are cut you may have to get the whole thing hard wired back to the fuse box. if you where any where near austin i could get this working for you in no time, but its kinda hard to explain if i cant see it. if you find the harness on the amp, you will know it because it has 2 deferent plugs.

1 plug has the wires for the 12v memory(continuose power)should be yellow.
it also has the acc power wire that turns it on when you turn your key to the on position,it is a red wire.
and i cant remember if it had a ground wire, it is black. if it doesnt have a ground wire then you will have to ground it somewhere else in the car. just find a good spot under the console. thats where i put it in my eclipse.
it also has the speaker connections for the front right and left. 2white wires and 2 grey wires(not sure wich is right or left)

the other plug has the rear speaker wires right and left. 2 purple wires and 2 green wires(not sure wich is wich)

if that is all hooked up right you may need to trace the wires back to the speakers and see if they where damaged when the other guy pulled his stereo out. or if he took the speakers out with it.

you did say that the stereo does turn on right. if the stereo is on then it is not a problem with the ground, 12v power, or acc power. you just need to make sure that your speaker wires are actually connected to the speakers in some way.

a few things that will keep them from making sound is if the wires are crossed(meaning the positive and negative side if the speaker wires are touching)just seperate them.
if the speakers voice coiles are broken. get new speakers.
or if they are not hooked up.

just go back and check over it all again. let me know what you find and ill get back to you. i check this board atleast once a day.

Where exactly is the factory amp. im gettin no sound whatsoever I dont think all 4 speakers would be blown though. I dont know.

when you take the control panel apart( the part where the stereo and the shifter is) its under where the stereo goes. start looking where the shifter is, then start to look forward. you should come to a silver metal box that looks like it really serves no purpose. when you find it fill underneath it and you should find to groups of wires hooked under it. that is the harnesses that you need. if that doesnt work then like i said you will have to start all over again. follow all the wires and make sure they all are connected. if the stereo comes on but you have no sound then it has to be something with the speaker wires. the wires run under the dash through the door jams to the front door via a hole in the door. you will have to take the door panels of to check them.im not sure on where the wires are run to the rear speakers but i can find out.
