the speaker on the driver side back door is not working, any body have any ideas why?

 

any body have any ideas

 

Check the settings on your stereo-maybe kiddies changed it? Did you go off roading-knock off a wire/get it wet? Or could be blown-the door panel is not that hard to get off at all to check it out... IIRC you have to take the handle off with a torx 25? or so, then pop the panel away from the door and lift up to clear the window channel.

 

the settings are all fine and i tried the speeker on the othere dore and it worked, so i think that it is the wireing but have know idea where. and when i open the dor the light dosen't turn on, does with the othere three dores, but the power window still works...

 

my 07.5 is going in thursday for a tsb that ALL speakers are to be replaced. my driver side and pass. side are both dead........ I am really starting to worry about this truck

 

does any body else have this wrong with there truck??

 

Easy thing to do is just take the panel off, get yourself a 9v battery, unplug the speaker wires to the speaker and hook the 9v to the leads of the speaker-if you hear a faint pop and see the speaker move, the problem is going to be from the wiring back. If you don't, then the speaker is blown.

 

the speeker works, so it must be the wiring,

 

i have the same problem with the same speaker. the rubber boot that encases the wiring going into the door is torn. i have yet to tear it apart- but it can't be anything major. probably a loose connection,wire,etc. will fix it when the weather warms up

 

Same thing with mine as well. Haven't had time to look at it. The door lock doesn't work either, thanks rjm022.

 

Check the wires where they go through the pillar post into the back door. Undo the black rubber protector and pull it back and see if the wires are broken. This is what happend to mine took me a week of troubleshooting to find it. If it is like mine the doorlock will eventualy quit working. Hope this helps

 

thank, I will try that tomoro, the door lock also dosen't work.

 

Just pull the rubber boot back and crimp the wires back together and it will be as good as new

 

fixed mine over the weekend, had three wires broken and one that was ready to break. I unplugged the harness at the b pillar to make it easier. Its nice now to have the door lock back in action.

 

I had to replace the front passenger side door twice under warranty and then decided to replace all 4 with Boston speakers and they sound so much better now. The Boston speakers are not cheap but sound better then others I listened too.
