Factory Stereo Amplifier Fuse??

Whenever I turned on the radio (stock headunit) no sound would come out. I went ahead and installed a Kenwood headunit that I had. Still no sound... Whenever I hook up the blue "amp turn-on" wire, I can hear a relay ticking but no sound comes out. Is there a fuse for the factory amplifier somewhere? Any ideas?

I thought so, but that's not the case because I got a voltage when I hooked up my voltmeter to it.

On my 01 i put a alpine in it and i hooked it up like i always do and the same thing happened so i talked to the shop where i got the headunit from and they told me to use a different wire to hook up the ACC on. I dont remember what color it was (it's been seven years) but it was the only one i had left over if i remember correctly. If that don't work any good stereo shop will know what to do, just tell them it's a dodge.

Thanks for the info. It's weird though, cause I wasn't getting any sound out of the factory headunit either. So it must be some other problem. So let me get this straight... How many amplifiers are in the whole stereo system? One behind each speaker? Is there an amplifier right after the headunit (before the speakers)?
