Acua MDX 2004 Speakers, left side dont work

radios have a balance function and it is possible that that was moved to only the one side
as to the chimes , find out from the service person what was done to stop them working

Hello Paul,

• Check that the Balance on your sound system is centered ( in the middle).

• Or Possibly the speakers are NOT connected or Defective.

• Also the stereo may be defective.

Good Luck,
JP

Turn on the radio and increase the volume if you can hear a hiss through the speakers, chance is the aerial/antenna connection is not hooked up correctly. Another way to check is try tuning to an AM station if you get a signal on AM but not FM then it is The antenna. You may have to remove the radio to get at the connection.

Go recheck for loose connections at both ends (the radio-harness and the speaker).

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

Sounds very much like you have a nick on the wiring and it maybe shorted, check your Fuses, it maybe a fuse, but if it's a nick in the wiring shorting, get it to a Garage to check, as it may cause a fire in the engine someday.

Check this website - you find there fuse box diagram and description for Acura MDX (2004)

sounds like a lot of fuse's blown or the fuse box it's self has a fault

first> road vibrations can cause cable connections to come loose so you can start by taking out your radio and making sure all of the questions in the back are connected as they should be.
Second> if this doesnt seem to work then the next step is to check the wires going to the speakers that arnt working (this will b quite a job, but if you can do it, it will save u quite a bit of money) .. checking the wires your checking for >bad connection to the speakers >cuts in the wire or if any part of the wire is touchin any other metal object

Was This Helpful ?

easiest way to see if the left outputs have gone is to swap the right and left speakers over. if the left works out of the right channels you know if the set has had it.hope this helps
