Stereo problems
I have a 95 Grand Cherokee Limited, which I just purchased last Friday night.
It is basically in great shape, except for a few minor fixes I need to make.
My biggest problem is that although the light display on the OEM Infinity Gold premium stereo/amp works, the actual sound didn't make the trip. Even worse is the fact that I've lost an old cassette tape that I tried to get to work. Now it won't eject completely..
So I went to Wally-World, bought a kit, and have installed a Pioneer Supertuner III CD stereo.
My problem is that this stereo also doesn't make a sound. It was easy enough to install, but now that it's in, all I get is a display without sound.
Also, the mast is broken off on the Power Antenna.
I can't find any display (idiot) lights on the amp under the driver's side passenger seat, and don't honestly know the fuse diagram either, as this vehicle came without an owner's manual.
Any help at all regarding my issue, and also a map of the fuse box would be greatly appreciated.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Yes, I checked the vehicle out good. I knew before I bought it that the stereo didn't work, but I have installed many car stereos before in other vehicles so I didn't think this would be a problem.
It doesn't have an owner's manual, so I don't know which fuses are for what item, or I would see if that's the problem with the amp. I think that judging from what all I have read online, the amp may be the problem.
It is an Infinity Gold system, with the amp beneath the left rear seat.
I don't yet know where to begin, since I put a Scoshe kit in for the stereo (both the install kit and the wiring kit), and the stereo lights up just like it should, but again, there is no sound...not even any static.
Also, the mast is broken on the powered antenna (have a manual antenna to install in it's place also) but I think there might be a possibility that the power antenna and amp run on the same fuse circuit.
I just want to get some tunes going in it, and hope someone with more knowledge of Jeeps can help.

Found the problem
In searching yesterday evening, I found that mice had at some time built a nest beneath the rear seats, and chewed on some of the wires to the Infinity Gold amp under the left side seat.
I have taped all of the wires, spliced one speaker wire that was chewed in two, and checked all the wires for continuity. They are all intact.
If it had not been raining all day today, I would have gotten back to troubleshooting but I feel certain that I will have to replace the amp.
I have another amplifier that I will put in place, as soon as I can find a wiring diagram for the current amp to identify all of the wires.
I located a service manual online for the 1996 Grand Cherokee, in pdf format, from Chrysler Corp. but fear that some things are different between the '96 in the manual and my '95, as I have found that many things cover '95 as part of one era, and '96 upward as another.
Does anyone know where I can find a diagram for my amp?

Update #2:
After splicing/bypassing the Infinity Gold amp today, I got the left door and left and right tweeters to work, but the rest is dead...I'm thinking now all new wiring and new speakers.
