Hello all, After having owned my mustang for a few years now, I am getting really annoyed with my non-working driver side speaker and decided to do something about it. I bought my car used and I actually have never seen this speaker working... Could the speaker be busted? Coud it just be unplugged? Before I take the whole door panel off, I just wanted to check with you all if it could simply be a dead fuse or something... Any idea? Thanks =========== 1997 White Mustang, 3.8L V6, 5 speed manual Freshly Repainted Crystal-Clear Headlights and Corner Lights K & N Air filter
Could be anything: 1. unplugged 2. blown out 3. If it's the stock radio the driver front output could be bad( nore commonly known as a dead channel) this could also be possible on a n aftermarket radio. There aren't fuses for the individual speakers. Only 1 for the radio itself. Just in case here are two write-ups I did on speaker removal FRONT: http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=575141 REAR (coupe only) http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=575143
Sounds like I will have to remove the door panel and check it out then. Thanks for the links, I had seen the door panel removal before. I decided to investigate that speaker problem after you made the removal look so easy People have been warning me about breaking clamps/pins when you take the door panel off. Have you had any problem of that kind? =========== 1997 White Mustang, 3.8L V6, 5 speed manual Freshly Repainted Crystal-Clear Headlights and Corner Lights K & N Air filter
kick it out a window or fix it. I'd kick it out a window. Re-place it with Eclipse Point Source 6x8 speakers! A+ material
No. I've never broken any clips. The only way you could do that is probally if you tried to pull the panel clear off the door.
Alright, I will try over the week-end then. Thanks Andy! =========== 1997 White Mustang, 3.8L V6, 5 speed manual Freshly Repainted Crystal-Clear Headlights and Corner Lights K & N Air filter
Alright I actually managed to remove the door panel earllier than expected and without problems...just a walk in the parc I removed and tested the speaker and it works fine...Not sure if this is such a good news after all...Where should I look next to solve my problem? I assume there is no signal comming to the speaker...Where should I investigate now? =========== 1997 White Mustang, 3.8L V6, 5 speed manual Freshly Repainted Crystal-Clear Headlights and Corner Lights K & N Air filter
how did you test the speaker? you should've also tested the wiring going to the speakers, with a multimeter.
I removed the speaker and hooked it up to my living room stereo. Sound came out just fine, so I assume the speaker is not the problem. I have not tested the wiring yet...I need to buy a multimeter first, but I am sure that I don't have signal going to the speaker . Where is the wiring going when it leaves the door? How can I track it? What should I do? =========== 1997 White Mustang, 3.8L V6, 5 speed manual Freshly Repainted Crystal-Clear Headlights and Corner Lights K & N Air filter
