New to Fit Freak. Just bought daughter a 2008 Fit Sport for a good price I think (3k). Only problem I've noticed is the right speakers are not working. I get a little sound out of the front top right, but not much and nothing on bottom or back right. Anyone tell me how to diagnose if radio vs wiring or connector. And if this is where to post. Thanks for any help.

 

Hit the SOUND button a few times to bring up the fader and balance adjustments on the radio. See that they are set to center.

 

Have tried Center and all the way to Right, only get sound from Left Speakers except a little from front Right Tweeter. Hoping someone can tell me how to diagnose. Don't want to replace radio if its wiring or a connector.

 

Pull the door panels off and swap the existing speakers in the car from side to side. You'll confirm that the speaker is shot and the wiring is good or vice versa. No need to throw parts at the car on a hunch.

 

I have old speakers laying around so I might pull the door panel and wire one up to the connector in each door to see if the originals are just bad.

You could ohm test the affected speakers

Swapping from side to side accomplishes the same speaker checks.


If no joy, then maybe pulling the radio out and ohm testing the wires to each affected speaker may be in order. If you know the speaker checked normal (maybe 4 ohms each) you should see the same value when ohm checked at the wiring at the back of the radio. Make sure to backprobe the connectors when testing so you don't damage wire terminals.

Make sure no speaker wire is grounded (ohm check between each speaker wire and body ground)


If a door has been heavily used, wires in the jamb area (where the wires have to flex) could be broken or shorted.
