How's it going guys I have this 97 yukon having some weird issue with the radio. I'm not sure if any of you have ran into this problem. So when I raise the volume past 31 the audio just cuts off. The radio won't shut off but the sound will cut off it'll come back on but if kept at 31 it cuts off again. Sometimes the radio will display a message saying check wiring or mis-wiring. I've been trying to find where the ground is for the harness of the radio but I can't seem to find a diagram with its location. I've triple checked the wiring from the original harness to the kenwood I just put in. I don't believe mine came with the factory Amp for the stereo.

Do you have the FSM for your year? The radio , amp , tape, speaker, wire digram is in there. What ever radio package you have is in the RPO code on the glovebox.
In a sticky above is the link for free factory service manuals PDF downloads.

I'm not sure. But I don't believe mine came with the factory amp. And who ever had this truck before did a hack job on the factory wiring. I've checked the factory service manuals but it doesn't specify where the grounds are located for that radio harness.. I will check the rpo code though once I get off work.

Get the codes off the glove box then go to the list in FSM.

So you see how the three digit codes explain the options installed?
If you have the OE, GM Factory service manuals, did you look in book 2,; Section 8 electric diagnosis? Audio chapter?
