K, I just bought an 04' sle, no Bose, No Onstar.. It came with a Pioneer DEH-P8600mp. Front door speakers do not work... Rear door speakers are working, but heres the deal... The rears seem to be wired to the front output.. When i fade to the front the rear speakers stay on, fronts off... When I fade to rear, No sound????? Ive pulled the harness and all the wiring is correct.. Dis-connected radio for a bit but no help... Any Ideas??
 
They fucked the fronts and wired the rears to work as front or wires are incorrect. Pull the harness and disconnect the wiring and trace it back to the speakers.

Or you can buy a new deck and see if that changes anything, then go from there
 
you gave me a lil idea cheeny. think im gonna play with the wiring and swap some front and rear wiring to see if i can get the fronts to work.. should point me in the direction i need to go.
 
yea, some harnesses, depending on how old they are and manufacturer, could be slightly different.







but first perform exorcist like scott said, could be like malik and have gremlins
 
So i just pulled the radio again... The radio is not the problem... The truck wiring is.... The white wires on the truck end of the harness are marked for the L/F speaker, but, they go to the L/R. And the front speakers dont work at all. I didnt try the right side cus im running out of light plus i have to go out. I REALLY dont feel like spending all day tracing wires but i guess i have no choice..
 
It's possessed. You need an exorcist.

yea, i put in a new harness last night and the wires go to the correct speakers now, but the front doors are still quiet... Ive got the panels off already to tint tomorrow so ill be doin some lookin
 
I should have posted, but the speakers were bust... The cones wouldnt even move... New Pioneers in now.. So Umm... Question... My avitar and the user title got changed from gettin started to <<<<< and ive never messed with either??? Is that normal or???
