I checked all fuses I know of from manual that relates to stereo. I found blown fuse that relates to my memory/yellow wire and changed it. Now I get stereo to come on but no sound. What should do next? Thanks.

Put all colored wires from stereo connector to car connector with same colors. There was blue/white and orange wire from car connector that I capped by themselves. Since stereo connector did not have similar wires.

Car radios do not come with standard wire colors and varies. You need to check the wires to confirm if the wires are for the speakers etc. There is a possibility the wires are not connected correctly.

Do you have the circuit diagram of the new radio? We need to understand what each wire is for and colors alone do not tell us what they are for.

The circuit diagram do not show any blue white wire. The blue wire for antenna should be left alone unless you have power antenna and is for it to automatically extend and retract when turning on/off radio.
For the speaker wires, ensure the polarity is correct for each and every speaker.
