Stock Bose with Onstar

[Ruffles810]

I have a 2001 GMC Jimmy, I recently had an issue where the CD drive in the stereo shorted out the L&R channels. Which killed the Factory amp, I replaced the factory amp with the exact same model number. I still have no sound. I have tested the wires from the stereo to the amp, audio travels to the amp. I have also tested the wires from the amp to the speakers, audio travels to the speakers. All 6 speakers still function properly and produce sound. I tested the audio output of the radio, the radio indeed puts out audio, even tried an after market radio. Still no sound to the speakers. I manually powered the amp and it does power up, but I still cannot seem to figure this out. I also disconnected the OnStar and pulled the fuse to see if that was shorting something out. No luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Take it to a dealer if you want to keep wasting money on 18yr old factory audio.

Dealers near me only work on cars ten years or newer :/

Thats because its not worth the shops time or the customers wallet to chase GM's electrical gremlins.

Bypass the factory amp and install an aftermarket headunit.
