Radio issues

[Swizzlewright]

I recently bought a 2001 Silverado 1500 single cab. Always wanted one of these trucks. Upon getting home I realized the radio had no sound whatsoever, figured it may be a bad aftermarket radio so I bought a touch screen radio and installed that in, still no sound. Any suggestions? I’ve checked fuses they are all fine I even replaced them to be sure. I can’t seem to figure this out.

So your new radio is powering up fine, and appears to tune to stations ok?

Did you use a harness to connect the radio to the truck or did you hack up the truck's wiring to do it?

I bought a harness and wired it. As I said before the radio wasn’t working prior to me installing a new one, guess I can rule the head unit out.

Look for an aftermarket amplifier between the head unit and speakers, they are normally underneath or behind the seats.  Probably an amplifier fuse.
