I want to say bad ground? but the radio prolly wouldn't power up. Most speakers I've seen ground through the head unit. You don't have an amp, just wired directly to the radio?

check connections at the speakers maybe.

patton98 · Post by **patton98** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 11:55 pm

do you think that if one comes loose they will all go out?

And check the main harness that plugs into the radio. The connectors can be sketchy sometimes.

Wire colors ^

You can use a multimeter to check it or even an old speaker and see if the headunit is putting out an audio signal and troubleshoot from there.

check your speaker connections at the harness, make sure evrything is plugged in right and no wires are loose, if that dont fix it then proceed to checkin the individual speakers for proper connection.

bangin your electronics is never good...

Do you run all of you speakers through amplifiers? Did you make sure that the amplifiers are turning on? My first thought was that maybe you shorted your remote turn-on wire.

patton98 · Post by **patton98** » Wed Dec 24, 2008 8:49 am

no it is all the stock wires...there are aftermarket speakers in the doors, aftermarket cd player and i have my radar detector wired in to come on with my cd player

jetas · Post by **jetas** » Wed Dec 24, 2008 12:47 pm

Well did you check all your connections yet??

Resolution to this problem? Seems very similar to one I'm having...

And yes, I know this is an old thread...

Caraudioholic24 · Post by **Caraudioholic24** » Wed May 27, 2009 2:49 am

It could also be a wire that is either pinched somewhere and grounding out or a cut wire grounding out. Do you have any blown speakers??? My suggestion is to disconnect all speakers and try them one at a time. If that doesnt help then you may be better off tryin to test each speaker lead and see if you get different readings with a multimeter.

patton98 · Post by **patton98** » Wed May 27, 2009 11:56 am

its fixed....speaker wires were cut that i didntsee
