1996 chevy blazer radio turns on but there is no sound

The radio in my 1996 chevy blazer stopped working suddenly. The radio will trun on but no sound will be coming out. The sound used to come back on if I just turned the radio on and off a few times, but now there is no sound at all no matter ho many times I turn the sterero on and off. I mean out of all the speakers in the car none of them have any sound. I tried looking behind the bottom art of the dash but all I see are wires taped together and I can't figure out what goes where. I tried try the fuses but that didn't work. Any Help please?


Thanks
Karen

    Weird, I have the same problem with my 96 Blazer. This model seems to be falling apart slowly after I hit 100,000 miles. Now the radio is dead. Not sure how to have it fixed or to just let it go.

    i have a nissan murano 2006 , i tried to install a new radio by my self and at first i did every thing right but i forgot to wire the blue amp wires together which caused to only turn on the radio but no sound was coming . after that i decided to attach the wires but this time i forgot to turn of the car battery which cause the 15 fuse to get burnt ,, i replaced the fuse and rewired the blue wires ,,, now every thing is working but not the back speakers, even tho their wires are attached properly ,,, soo please help ,,

I have a strong feeling that the head unit "radio" has finally gone bad. You describe a situation, in which you have to turn it on and off, to get it to work. Typically if the sound comes out of all speakers, after doing that, then the speakers were never broken. The head unit itself should be replaced. I hope this helps.

    What if you replaced the head unit and hooked everything up correctly and then everything comes on but the screen on the radio it will even still take a disc, on a 96 blazer.

Will a 1996 chevy blazer LS 4wd differential fit into a 2000 chevy blazer LS rwd rear end ?

Measure the lenth of both rear ends. see iss all hardware will bolt up without fabrication. if its the same size it will work. But im afraid being a 4 wheel drive it will be geared lower then a regular pick up/ Drive shaft may work but if not it would have to be shortened or lenghthebed. alot of work. Brakes you could leave the non drum breaks on better stopping power. I honestly believe you would be better off just going to a scrap yard and find one very easy to remove and replave few hour job.

The car stops suddenly, after slowly losing power. Started up again, to move off to side of road. No longer started after that. checked oil, it was milky looking, so we changed it. checked the battery, it...

sounds like the head-gasket blew, and the fuel pump may have gone out. I would really have to be there to know for sure. I guess you need to see if you have spark, and if fuel is coming to the engine, may have had a fuse or two go out, also. Good Luck Tim

Loud ticking sound all of the time

Are you sure its not an exhaust leak ..? They can sometimes sound like a ticking noise and the noise will change with temperatures of engine.. ? also if you can borrow a stethicope from someone which is used in automotive repair alot (different than what your doctor uses) this will help you pinpoint the problem .. It sounds to me with out hearing it you have a loose rocker arm possably .. If this is the case this is a easy fix and very inexpensive. just figure which side its coming from take the valve cover off and tighten it till it stops ticking and then give it 1/4 turn. Holler if you need more Jerry

Delco radio in 95 blazer

With key in "on" position, but pickup not started, press the "SET" button and the "channel up" button (aka "TUNE +"). "SET" appears in radio window.

Now the "SEEK" button will increment hours and the "SCAN" button will increment minutes.

Once correct time is set, press "SET" button again to get out of clock set mode. "SET" will disappear from radio window.
