Long story short Don't buy the $5-$15 cheap wire harness. this harness will fit your factory harness BUT the speaker wires are not in the right place which is the reason why you don't get any sound.
So don't be a cheap guy like me, either buy the $39.99 on ebay or go to you local audio shop. Hope this help yall!
Hello
2008 Impala LT No sound after aftermarket stereo install
I have a 2008 Chevy Impala LT, it has NO Bose or premium sound system, There is NO factory amp as well, I believe it was a fleet vehicle (Very Basic)
What my problem is that I'm trying to install a Power acoustic Stereo (after market)
I previously had the same set up and wire harness installed in this car, but my car was broken into and the thief's stole everything including the harness!
The harness I have is the one with out the warning chimes module , Like I said before this setup worked fine for 8 months before the car was broken into!
After installing everything today the stereo comes on and display as should BUT NO SOUND. The only wires that are not connected is the (blue/white) the (solid blue- Antenna) and the (orange- illumination )
I'm at a lost as to why there is no sound, I've checked all fuses, I disconnect the wire harness and connect the factory stereo and everything works fine.
Again I have never had a factory amp and this set up has worked before! If anyone has any ideas please share them!!
Things I'm done so we won't waste time asking if I have.
I tired to locate a factor amp, (There's not one)
Checked all fuses
Checked each speaker to see if there were any shorts!
Ran the Blue/ white wire to the passenger kick panel to both the (Amp fuse, and ACC Fuse). And still no sound!
The harness has worked before but I didn't do the first install, so I'm not sure how he got it to work, and the sound to come on!
I love all the doctor phil's giving advice.
What you need to do but not how to do it.
there are 3 places they install the factory amps. in the trunk between the speakers, in the trunk on wheel well, and under the drivers side dash board. be shure to check all 3 spots before ruling it out
Thanks I just tap in to the blue wire! Works for me
Your factory unit could have The original harness pin connection for the amplified model. Listen to what you said. Your factory unit works. So the factory unit and harness works. You remove the original factory head unit and hook up a aftermarket head unit and it doesn't work. Your problems are in the cheap aftermarket harness with base model pin connections. Upgrade the harness to a amplified pin connection scorch model. I guaranty it will work.
+Kyle Myers do u have a pic of the correct wire harness for the car I'm having the same exact problem
the aftermarket harness you need is GM22SR Interface 2006+ GM
Check all speakers wires for a short to ground , had same problem. One speaker was grounded
I'm having the same problem with my 06 chevy impala, I have a sound system in mine, with my stock stereo it works fine, I connect my aftermarket stereo, no sound!!!! I'm trying to figure out what it is too.
unfortunately.. I did an install In my 07 Malibu which is very similar. if you don't buy the harness and yes it's like 80$ at Walmart then the car won't properly communicate with the stereo. another dumb GM factory hindrance. I did exactly what you did and got nothing, went and bought the harness and hooked it up and I've had everything working great ever since. the reason being it's not just a harness, it's got a little box attached that sends the car the"radio healthy" status. my advice. the box also has a speaker that plays the warning chimes your car normally does incase your car would not play them from the factory speaker for whatever reason. I electric taped the whole thing and only left one hole showing from the speaker so it could breathe because it chimed much louder than my car did and it was very annoying, plus my stock car chimes still worked properly. good luck to you
Did you check the real spot for the amplifier it is to the left in the truck up under everything
Use this harness Scosche GM3000SW, just make sure you have or get an attenna addaptor. I have a 2005 Malibu base model, not the classic. No on star, no premium sound. It works great, just plug and play. I bought the basic harness with no module and went down a rabbit hole for two days (which brought me to this video) before going to Walmart and returning the basic harness and paying the extra for the Scosche GM3000SW with the module. Trust me, it's worth it.
Connect the blue wires to the red one
I have the same problem I just installed an aftermarket radio brand new turns on just fine but no sound
Did you did you sound work on your factory radio? If so we hook your factory radio back up if you can and see if you get something from that and go from there
My nissan xtrail 2006 apparently earths the speakers via the antenna cable. The speaker cable earths are not the corresponding colour with black line. They just don't exist?
Dude just wire the blue wire from the harness to power wire it will work let me know
U have to cheak the wires going to the sterio u have to make sure the wire is not making contact with other speakers have to make sure they are going to the right cables
Can anybody help me out?! I have a 2000 ford mustang gt. I recently bought a aftermarket radio to put in it because it had no radio previous to purchase, I got wire harnesses for it and two wires from the car have nothing to connect to everything on the radio works but there is no sound at all??
so far what I hear that you having a little issue with your radio I would say just go and buy you a cheap hi app so you can this bypass all that trouble and this goal by hooking are in your door speakers up to that high amp and run you another amp remote wire and that will fix your problem
I have a Chevy HHR 2006 some time my car door speakers work sometimes they don't but my tweeters always work what can be the problem and can somebody please help me it is driving me crazy
for gm correct install you have to add an interface that plugs into factory harness. $40 @wal mart
jason march i got the interface but still dosent work
What did you to get it fixed
contact the amp wire to the power wire and red wire
Amp trigger for the stock amp...I just had this issue tonight...but wire that powers amp to amp
Ok im having the same problem help ppl say to connect the blue wire with the re is that true
The blue is the amp wire. Yellow is constant (memory etc)
Red is ignition power.
In some, amp needs power. (blue wire) Amps are often hidden.
No power to amp, no sound.
I also the same problem in my impala
the same thing happened to me but fix the problem...you will need to relocate the speaker wiring from the aftermarket harness
My blue wire isnt hooked up and i have sound just no stations will pick up and the antenna is plugged in. Also the other end is snapped to the windshield. Its a 2010 unmarked police edition. Gotta be something with the antenna wire.
I have that same car but it's a 11 LT trim and I want to put new speakers in and I can't find any speaker harness adapters and I was wondering if you know a real good trusted website that I can use
don't need the harness splice the wire and tap in to the wire. that's the way I did mine and use heat shrink
Check under the globe compartment or under the steering wheel control
the factory amp is in the trunk on the left behind the tail light
what about the 07? I don't seem to have one
andrew mitchell just found out my 2016 Impala Limited LT has an amp in the back left rear by the Onstar unit. I too thought only Bose had an amp which would be between the 2 rear speakers. Now I’ve got my new receiver and new amp running but no Onstar audio.
I come here because I just put in my aftermarket radio and I don't have sound...
Can someone tell me what the 3 extra wires are in my 2006 impala lt: They are orange, orange with a black stripe, and looks like lt blue almost the same colour as the rr speaker wire. I do have sound but sounds crappy. I don't have swc or amp. Trust me I looked everywhere and yet 3 wires remain unhooked. What should I do with them? I'll send you $10 for helping. Seriously want to know. Thanks.
What kinda harness is that
try just disconnecting speaker channels now while they are all disconnected turn of the car. disconnect the negitive on the battery. now hook up the speaker wires but not threw the harness run wire to each one. reconnect the ground and turn it on. this should fix the problem. I believe from what you said there is a short just in a speaker wire.... had this happen to me before some wire just sucks over time
I have an 05 Jeep Cherokee what I did that very thing for and it still won't work. Any ideas?
T
I have a 97 gmc and I'm having the same problem, I've looked on alot of forms, so do I just hook the blue wire to the red, will it work or short circuit something, I'm so tired of not having music when I go to work in the morning
Br0dog18 steve im having the same problem on my 94 gmc too how did you get it fixed
@@jaimecedillo6966 make sure all of the wires are connected to the right ones, because I had a tan speaker wire connected to one of the 2 tan wires I have and I figured out that if one wire is connected to a wrong one it will mute a the speakers, so use the 9v battery method, test the speaker wires to make sure they are actually the speaker wires
once you get that factory amp you will get better quality sound
I have a 13 impala and I've never had audio from my blinkers. Is there a fix for that? I installed an aftermarket touchscreen radio and my blinkers are silent and my seat belt chime isn't going off. Never had since I owned it
The blinker and chimes come from the factory radio if you take it out you lose those sounds unless you can buy a harness that has a box with a speaker on it that will give you back those sounds with a aftermarket radio I had the same problem with my Malibu
@@clintonspears7759 is there a radio you recommend? I bought a cheap android one until I can afford a nice one with a speaker box to get those functions back
Hey guys I have 04' has the amp but my back speakers aren't plugged into anything just has long ass wires stuffed under the back seat
You ever fix I got tha same problem
You’ll need to buy an aftermarket interface
Can somebody help me.. I bought a patrol cop car 08 impala.. no sound and no amp but everything is hooked up.. what do I do?
Rico Ramirez did you figure it out
Had the same problem with my Grand Prix
Factory amps were in the body style before this. 2000-2005.
Wired mine up.. Bass dumb low. Dnt kno y.
Yeah you need to hook that wire up from the wire harness or no sound!cause that a power antenna wire!you will need to use that harness for a Reason!
All the comments on here sayin to tap into your speakers etc, DO NOT DO THAT!!!! All you need is an aftermarket interface!!!!!! It’s about $15-$20.
Unfortunately the cheap harness is wrong I had the same problem I just figured it out I will send a picture when I'm done and by the way my is 2008 unmarked police with no amp
Google wire frame for the year of car and find amp remote wire you'll get sound
Your amp is on the left side behind carpet thing
I also have an 08 impala
Idk wtf is wrong with mine I installed a amp and a sub the other day in a 2003 Impala and They’res lit no sound from the 2 front speakers I have my factory amp installed as well but not powered I’m pretty sure that amp only powers the rear 6x9s and those don’t even work either all I hear is bass and I need some treble in my life someone help me 😅😊
Connect that blue cable with the stripes with the red power that should power your amplifier
Have same problem and the plane blue (antena ) and blue striped white....BOTH DON WORK FOR ME....!!! ! #%@&#@...!!!
@@potatosalad5355 just find the amplifier and unplugged.

Hey José mi pickup nunca ha tenido amplificador es una camioneta simple ...

hook up a speaker head phone dont matter just to test the speakers on new unit ...then if that works and its not the new unit than you must have a small amp hidden somwere...but im having same isue i dont want to pay 150 it have someone hook up a plug for me ....
I think its your mute wire should be blue hook it to your memory wire
Let me know if you still have the same issue. I will tell you how to fix it in no time. By the way ,you don't have to buy an expensive wire harness. the 4.99 works just fine
Hey I have a 06 maxima I got the harness hooked everything up and sound comes on but very low seems like my factory amp isn't turning on does anybody know why this is happening and what I'm doing wrong
Check you ground cable stereo
X
Can you give me the info on what I need to do. I also have a 08 impala that I'm about to put an aftermarket radio in in about a week. I would like to know what I need before hand. Thx
Check the Voltage of the blue wire, make sure is 12V. If not connect a 12V to the blue wire.
oh theres an amp in that bad boy check the sides of the trunk and whats happening is that the factory amp is not cutting on it needs the remote wire hooked up.
+Mark Moore Again there's NOT a amp man! I've done my fair share of audio installs and these fleet cars didn't come with a amp. The only Impalas that have amps are the ones with the Bosse sound system. Thanks for trying though!!
So I should install an aftermarket radio then. My police impala has no amp as well. Radio comes on but on sound.
Mark Moore hey how did you do this?
If i have a factory amp in a 2004 impala all's I need to do is run a remote wire to the white wire on the amp right?
Kyle Myers I thought the same thing until I looked in the left side of the trunk. That crow was tough!
check your head units fuse
oh by the way I have an 09 Chevy impala ss I installed all my audio equipment and everything is brand new
Mark Moore hey I've got an 08 impala ss, guy before me put a sound system in it then removed the sub before he sold it, when I got it there was no volume, turns out it was a switch on the amp that was set to auxiliary or some shit but it worked fine. now I got to work, put it into park and the radio cut out, if it's turned all the way up you can barely hear audio out the rear. any thoughts on what would cause this?
never cut wires.
What do you do if did
LOL yes there is open your truck it's on the left hand side under the carpet on the wheel well that's where the amp is hook up the blue and white wire that'll work just hook it to your power for your ignition
blue a d white wire put it to your red wire
If anyone of you call me, I won’t answer if I don’t recognize your number. So text me the let me know what’s going on so I can help ya
I have the same problem
+Desiree Mendoza I found out what happened if you need help
+Kyle Myers how did you get it to work?
Kyle Myers I need help
Yes i do need help
Kyle Myers what did you figure out I'm having the same issue
you should have to Aunt remove wires try the one that have a stripe on it if that one don't work try the one that don't have no straight
I kicked myself after I figured it out. like I said, i have the same car. had the same problems. if you still need help, I can try to explain it. but easier if it was over the phone. 08 impala has a feature that won't shut your radio off until the drivers door is opened. it will eventually shut off about 8-12 min after the car is shut off. but if you open the door rt after shutting the car off, it'll turn it off rt away. so what u have to do is install another harness that controls the door chimming, turn signal sound, and shutting radio off after drivers door is opened. I'm not exactly sure what the harness is called but it's at every auto part store. it looks like a square box fuse like the ones that would be under your hood. it has I believe 5 connecters on it that ate numbered 85, 86, 87, etc. auto part store can also print you off a diagram which number means what. once you know what each number means, follow diagram and it gets wired into the harness you bought. but try shutting your driver's door and see if that works. if not, then wire it to your harness. also, if you ever decide to run subs and amps, your have to have that box wired in. I looked online and it said if I plan to run a amplified system, it must be installed. if not installed, it a will cut your radio off as soon as u turn it up. I'm not a professional installer but I hooked up my impala and never had any problems with it. I run (2) 12" Alpine type R's and (2) 1200 watt class D Rockford fosgate amps. Hopefully, this helps you figure out your issue, or at least points you the right direction. good luck bro.
+madden1331 Hey man thanks for trying to help, The problem was EBAY sent me the Right/Wrong harness. lol Yea go figure, paid $5.00 for B.S. I took it down to a audio shop and got the right harness for $25 worked on the first try so thanks again man!!!
hey my car is doing the same thing how do i fix this

Carlos El monstro hit me up sometime. 989 387 7206. If I don't answer, I will get back k to ya. Or text. Usually don't answer if I don't recognize number
of it has any
You need a radio interface
Blue wire go to the pink
you probably fix it by now but hook the blue wire to the 12v red wire
Is it gonna work fine conecting the blue wire to the red 12v wire? I'm not gonna have a short circuit?
Yes, I did it recently on my friend's Impala. The blue wire is made to recieve 12v from the amp turn on or power antenna source. No, it will not short anything out either. The only downside to this is that you loose your door chime and turn signal sounds. The reason why is because the factory head unit has the door chime and turn signal sounds play through the speakers. That's why they make that high ass overpriced $100 wire harness because it keeps those features lol. On some Impalas those features include Onstar, steering wheel volume control and door chime, etc. Also, I had to do this on my 03 Mach 1 a few years ago because of my factory amp.
Sho'nuff The Shogun of Harlem HA!! SOLVED MINE. GOOD LOOKIN. NOW I CAN FINALLY GO TO BED
Sho'nuff The Shogun of Harlem both blue wires to the red 12v?
hook the amplifier wire to the red power wire
your radio went bad need repair I had the same problem so I tried another aftermarket same brand works perfect you don't need no different harness it's a bad radio
make ur wire harness and tap in speakers wires at door kick panel don't use after market harness it's a joke
My shit won’t even turn in in my impala
Same. I have no clue how to get it to work either. Did you figure it out? I thought I had everything wired properly.
Same issue fml
+Deejay Jeminii Hey man make sure you bought the right harness, even though it fits and connects the reason you don't get sound from the speakers is because the harness wires are in the wrong spot.
+Kyle Myers found out the remote on wire from the head unit wasn't feeding power to turn on the Bose factory amp on. The speakers are connected to the factory amp has no bypass to the head unit so I wired the acc wire to the amp wire to cue it to turn on and now works fine when turn on the car and goes off when I take the hey out👍
My volume is all fucky
LMAO rookies
Tracker games fuck you
Hook your blue wires to the red wire and you should get sound out of your speakers
