When I got my 94 Ex, it had a radio in it that was not an explorer radio. I knew this because there is no clock function and 6 preset buttons. It doesnt really give any volume until i push it to the max, and then its not what it should be. The front passenger side speaker is also very goofy, the PO had a piece of speaker wire run from the drivers side to the pass side. I have tried several explorer radios from others that my father has owned and we have striped down. NONE of the other radios produce any sound. they turn on, show stations being picked up, but no sound. I have the premium sound option (radio has one long flat and one square plug) and all the other radios i have tried plug right in. I am wondering if maybe my problem is the amp, has it gone to crap and thats why the unamplified explorer radios wont produce sound and why my speaker wont work in the front? Or did the PO have an aftermarket radio in it (pretty sure he did, has amp power and ground wires in back, and other connections in dash used on aftermarket radios) and maybe cut some wires or something or blew the factory amp. It is still plugged in i know because i added a jbl factory woofer and woofer amp and bolted the factory amp to the box. I would really like some help with this as sound stuff really isnt a strong point for me other than installing new stuff.
