I have a 98 RR 4.6. A hand me down from my parents. After Market radio worked but was stolen. I replaced it with another aftermarket radio since they left the old plug there from the old radio. so the wiring was all good. I plugged it in and the power came on and all the buttons work but I have no sound. so to make sure it wasn't the radio I hooked it up to wife's car and it worked just fine. I checked fuses 1,8,15( I think those were it) and they all were good. anyone have a solution to this problem. I downloaded Rave but I couldn't figure it out. I removed the door speakers to make sure they work and its all good just cant figure out why the RR doesn't want to cooperate. Does anyone know the solution to this problem. I really dont feel like running new wires and just bypass the original system.

 

Find a pal who is an electrical geek and he/she (yes, there are engineerettes) and they will show you how to read a schematic. It is like one of grandpa's old road maps, lines connect dots, rather than GPS. There is also a basic description of how to read the schematic in the first few pages. Rover likes to identify wire colors by letters, so black = B, Blue = "U", etc. They have the code list in the RAVE as well. Could be there is an amp under the seat, etc. Rover offered several audio models in some years.

Diagnostics of wires chopped up by others and left undocumented is a daily adventure at most factories around the US. Pray for as-builts!

 

I figured it out after a couple minutes of real study. I was just confused by the High Low Mid. I didn't know it had this many speakers and tweeters in it. Now I'm just going to wait for a more sunny and warm day to trouble shoot this issue thanks Savanah Buzz

 

theres 2 Gray/black wires that control the AMPs and those need to be connected to the remote(blue wire on aftermarket radio). I used these links to figure it out
and you guys might also find it usefull
