Mexico or "MIM" built Fenders are from Ensenada, Mexico plant.
Deluxe versions usually have active electronics (battery driven) and a few other "luxury" components.

Fender Passports are notorious for being badly built with poor reliabilty. Trade it in for a fiver and buy something of better quality.

if you remove the neck its usually printed on the body, underneath where the neck connects.

All Strats are wired in similar fashion. There are lots of straight-forward wiring diagrams in the Internet. Seymour Duncan's site has easy to read and understand wiring diagrams for just about any electric guitar. If you open it up buy removing the pickguard, any loose wire reveals itself right away; just check the connections and the solder joints. A "cold" joint looks okay but doesn't transfer current. If it's been worked on previously, that may be the problem.

It is probably the battery or the battery connector. Not to worry or look for the battery compartment and put your mind at rest.

The Fender Stratocaster (in common with all Fender guitars) has passive pick-ups so should be plugged into the no 1 socket.
Whilst it will work in the No 2 input socket this has lower sensitivity and is intended for use with guitars that have active (battery powered) pick-ups.

In short, you don't! There is no battery in the Fender Strat.

If you are not getting output, you have a failure. FIRST check the cable by using a different cable.

There is internal wiring and the pickups, switches and volume/tone controls that can fail, however the jack is always the first suspect.
