I took apart the little boot in between the door and wiggled the wiring and this didnt help. i have all the front speakers working. I played withe the fader control .when i fade them to the rears ,nothing. checked the other knob that makes the sound go from right to left ,nothing ,no sounds from the rears.

Disconnect the speaker from the connector and hook a 12 volt test light between the two speaker wires. As the volume is turned up to that speaker, the light will get brighter if the radio and wiring are good. If so, you have a bad speaker.

I had the same problem with mine. First the drivers rear door and then the pass a few weeks later.I pulled the panels and tried a junk speaker laying around and it worked fine. But the good news was it was time to replace the factory speakers with something decent. I put in some alpines and was good to go!

Hello everone;

I found the problem. It was the speakers, both blown. replaced bothe speakers and they work great. dont buy them from Radio shack. they wanted $ 120.00 for a set. went to a super Walmart ,got them for 40.00 ,JVC speakers ,120 watts each.

thanks for the suggestions . Don

Wow, that was easy... any chance someone is still following this?! Mine has the same problem... if it ever stops snowing I'll have to check the connections. How easy is it to replace these speakers? Are the connections to the speakers themselves soldered or just connectors?

99.99999999999% chance the factory speakers failed.

The original speakers will have a two wire connector. The non-OEM replacements will have wiring that will need to be connected to the original wiring. They come with instructions.
