So many things that can be wrong. First step is to take the working speaker from the right, and plug it in on the left. If it works, replace the bad spkr. If not, it's a wiring/electrical problem, and will need more testing..

SOURCE: No sound comming from the left side speakers in my 04 Envoy XUV.

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

My radio speakers dont sound right. All trebble until the inside of the vehicle warms up. Then thhey sound correct. Trplaced the radio thinking it was that, still the same.

Hi, here is a simple test. Turn on your radio next turn the balance to one side, see if you notice a better full sound. Turn the balance back to center, if your sound has a hollow sound, your speakers are out of phase. Have your installer check that. Hope that helps.

Left side speakers don't work

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

Only tweeters are working while playing radio. No other speakers are working. ...radio operates normally, turn on , cd, all options work. What could this be? It's a 2006.

all speakers r connected to the same wires on the radio
If left/right balance and front/rear fader work properly
and sound is coming out it is likely (but not definite) radio is ok and speaker wiring is the issue.
HOWEVER, if it sounds the same on both left and right, it could be the radio. It is unlikely both sides have the same issue at the same time without it being in the radio.
The only way to verify it to disconnect the speaker and substitute a known good speaker.
So back to troubleshooting.

What would cause the driver side front door speaker and the passenger side rear deck speakers not to work. When if fade the sound all the way to the front with no sound in rear and with the balance turned...

Check the speakers if they work. Connect the speaker terminals using a short wire to a 1.5 volt battery (AA or any dry cell batter) and listen if there's a thumping sound when the wires are connected to the battery terminals. If there's no sound, your speakers are busted. If there's a sound, check if the wires are okay. Use the same method with the battery with the wires from the back of your stereo. Make a small cut on the wire and attach the short wires you used earlier.

No sound on left side

see on your car stereo if there's any sound balance for adjusting left and right speaker. second thing you should do (although is more difficult, and maybe you should visit the car service), check the wires behind the car stereo.

I dont kno the wiring colors for my 2000 taurus radio

All you need to do is get the power, ground, and antenna hooked up then start with two colors matching, example: one purple and one black with purple line hook those up to a matching speaker wire then turn stereo on and go to balance setting choose back left if speaker does not sound then go back right and if speaker does not sound then try front speaker right and then left once you find correct speaker move on to next two matching remember to. Mark wires FL or fr or bl or back right. Good luck

Door chimes on my 2007 impala are low in sound.Any hints? thank you

Ok left side door speaker is the door chime speaker, I would check the left side door speaker to make sure it's not blown out. This can be done by using your fade & balance button on the radio and going to front speaker and left side only and to see if the speaker is blown. if so replaced it

No sound out of left side speakers, front and back.

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

No sound comming from the left side speakers in my 04 Envoy XUV.

Did you try your balance control on the radio? You will find FADE, and BAL. The balance will move the sound from side to side. If thats not it, it sounds as thought one of the harnesses behind the radio came loose. Hope that helps
