If you’re not able to hear anything when you turn on your car’s radio, then there may be some of the reasons why the problem has occurred. When I faced the problem, It seemed so problematic in the beginning.
But, soon I got over the problem and I got it sorted out when I saw I was not alone in facing the same issue. Some of the problems and the solutions are written in the beginning which would turn on the sound of your radio.
Connect your radio to power
If your radio turns on but you hear no sound, chances are that your radio isn’t connected to power. Be sure to check that your radio is plugged into a live wall outlet.
If you want to connect it through a surge protector or extension cord, try plugging it directly into an outlet first and then plug in other devices afterward. If it still doesn’t work, you may have blown a fuse or tripped a circuit breaker.
In either case, call an electrician or hire one through an online service like Thumbtack or Angie’s List for help with installation and inspection services.
Put batteries in
Many devices may appear to be turned off when they’re actually in sleep mode. This can often be fixed by simply replacing drained batteries with fresh ones. Make sure to use alkaline batteries (or rechargeable batteries) in your devices.
They’ll last longer than standard zinc-carbon or lithium batteries. If you are having problems, refer to your device’s user manual for troubleshooting tips before taking it into a shop for repairs.
Go through the setup process
If you purchased your product new, there should be an owner’s manual or instructional guide in with it. Read through it first to learn about any unique features or settings.
Once you’ve reviewed that info, begin unpacking and setting up your product. Make sure all of your components are accounted for and that nothing is broken or damaged before going any further.
If anything appears missing or damaged contact the manufacturer for assistance. The setup process may differ slightly based on what you purchased, but don’t be afraid to ask for help if you’re unsure about a step.
Finally, read through all instructions again once everything is in place before plugging in to ensure nothing was missed during setup.
Check your speakers are working
If your car radio’s on but there’s no sound, it could be a matter of your speakers needing a replacement. Check that all of your speakers are working before you invest in new ones.
Simply unplug each speaker and listen to whether they make a noise when you jiggle them. If they don’t, check if they can be replaced or not.
If so, replace them one by one until you find which one is faulty. Then replace it with another speaker in its place as soon as possible to avoid getting stuck with an unusable radio again!
Check you’re connected to Bluetooth
Even if you want to listen to music via your phone, check that you’re connected. In case you’re using a Bluetooth headset, make sure it’s not faulty.
If that’s not it, make sure your device is on, and try playing music through other apps. If your speakers aren’t connected via Bluetooth or any other means, check if they have batteries and they’re charged up.
Check what device you’re using
Most radios come with remote controls, and that’s why it’s essential to check whether your remote is working properly. It’s possible you have a faulty remote control. 4
If your radio turns on but doesn’t make any sound, there might be some issues with your audio cable or connection. You can test your cable connections by connecting to another device such as a television.
If you don’t hear anything when connecting another device, then it might be an issue with the output of your speakers or your speaker cables themselves. If neither of these fixes works, it could be that you need to replace or repair your speakers entirely.

Conclusion
If you want to get your radio working properly again, first test your speakers using a set of headphones. If they work and you’re able to hear a sound, replace your radio and give it a shot.
In case there’s still no sound coming from your radio after you replace it, it’s possible that something else in your car is preventing sound from emitting. The only way to know for sure is to have an experienced professional inspect it. After that see what they can find!
