Why is my radio on but no sound from the trunk?
Both radios come on, and can change screens, and the back up camera works too. This is a VAN, so there isn’t any amp in the trunk. No sound in any of the speakers. The connections to the car wiring are good, and even blew out the connections with compressed air to ensure a clean seating with the wiring.
What should you do if your stereo gets water damage?

How to troubleshoot poor or no AM or FM radio reception?
If you have an amplifier connected, disconnect the amplifier power. If the AM reception now improves, the amplifier is the problem. There is not a fix for this other than lowering the GAIN feature on the amplifier, if applicable. Try resetting the car stereo. There could also be a poor ground connection.
Do you need load resistors for a 4 speaker radio?
If your radio is flashed for 4 speaker output, you must use load resistors or the above mentioned plug and play adapters on both front and rear outputs of the radio. Even if you don’t use the rear outputs. If your radio is only flashed for two speakers you will not need load resistors on the rear outputs because they are defeated in the radio.

What happens when you remove the factory speakers on a Harley Davidson?
When you remove the factory speakers and instead feed the radio output to an aftermarket amplifier or sound processor, the radio has no load and the output becomes unbalanced. A special resistive load needs to go between the radio and the next device (amplifier or processor).
