Yes it's a D
Ok so I've had a speaker in the xB that hasn't worked for some time now. A couple years actually. Well I finally decided to look into the problem.
The speaker is the rear passenger side(hatch area). Upon pulling the plastic back I noticed that the speaker isn't even connected to the OEM harness. I think to myself, all this time, and that's what the stinkin problem was. Well since I didn't pull everything out of the way to completely access the speaker, I fought with the 2 connectors, and finally got them together. When I finally get them together I hear a distinct electrical pop, and all sound disappears. I stupidly kept my stereo on the whole time just to have something to jam to while I worked.
I stop what I'm doing, and go and turn the key off. I return to disconnect the connectors from one another thinking I probably blew a fuse. I go back and turn the key to acc and the head unit comes on. I guess I didn't blow a fuse after all. Then sound is coming through the speakers. Basically if I connect the rear hatch speaker it shorts the stereo out, but left disconnected it works fine. I know enough about wiring to get by, but I'm no expert.
My guess through process of elimination, is that either the speaker, or the OEM connector has a short in it. Can anyone point me in the direction of how I'd go about testing them to determine which one is the culprit? Maybe the cause is deeper than my knowledge? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
