I have taken out the old stock radio to replace it with a JVC radio model number KD - g400. To do the swap I had to buy the JVC radio harness and the harness to switch from stock radio to aftermarket radio for the truck itself, after everything is hooked up properly, but I cannot get sound out of my speakers, but everything else turns on. The only way I have sound as if I hardwired it from the JVC harness directly to my speakers. What would be going wrong for that to happen?
