Hi. I am trying to get one of two factory radios to play. In my 2000 2500. Both turn on, scan & seek, lock on to local stations. Seam to work fine, except no sound what so ever. I have been told, there is a factory amp in dash that could be bad. If so where is it? How to test? Ect.

I'm definitely not the knowledgeable guy about this, but I read that some of the stereos from these years are "Infinity" equipped, meaning they require an amp. Your truck may not be equipped with an amp. Just a thought.

I can tell you that on my 99, with the factory 6 speaker infinity system, it has an amplifier on each front 6x9. I do know that my 99 jeep xj had an amp under the back seat that powered all speakers.

Found this in my 2001 manual. The 2001 wiring diagrams match my 99, so I believe it should cover the 2000 also. c53906bf1bfa6661d2b9c7d2344459e3.jpgc09c776108fd9ff4b97a8414ada03fcb.jpg
