Shortage to my rear drivers side speaker.

Post by seneca »

Hey everyone,
There seems to be no signal being sent to the rear drviers side speaker of my car. I replaced the OEM speaker with no resolve (I had to anyways...oem cardboard = crap) :) But there's still no signal. I check the connection to the deck, with no visible problem. Does anyone know where this wire runs? Or where a good place to start my search may be?

Thx

Tyson

Wow, that would take a while. I beleive the wire's are traced on the drivers side, but you got to pull up the rug and panels.
Or you could plug the speaker in. Go to the back of the deck, and find the two wires that go to that side (Left Rear(+)->Blue/White,Left Rear(-)-Blue/Green) speaker.
Take a multimeter and see how many ohms you get. If you get someting around 4ohms, you are good and there might be something wrong with the stereo. Anything else and there is a break in the wire. Go run some new stuff.

yah, I would definately just ditch the stock wiring if you can't get an impedance reading from the wire. If you're not getting any signal just run new wire for it... it needs it anyways.
