Speaker Woes 200 1980

This can't be a coincidence. Both of my bricks have the left speaker not working. I swapped the left and right speakers and ruled out that the speakers are at fault. I checked the wire-speaker connection and that seemed fine. What's happening?

I agree with the previous poster about checking continuity in the wire. Could one of the terminals on the speaker be shorting out behind the door panel. How about getting some speaker wire and running direct from the head unit harness to the speaker. This would at least rule out a problem with the head unit.

Had the same problem on my 86 245...

The driver's door is the most used door. That is the door that typically has the hinge sagging.It is also the door that the spring steel pin that stops the door at the half-open point breaks first on.

The wires running to the speaker get flexed every time the dor swings open/closed.

Best guess is that one of the wires within are broken, sometimes the broken ends of the wire will touch and the speaker will work.

Try a continuity tester.

Good luck.
