Factory radio/ speaker problems

[Marc87GN]

I have never been much of radio guy and I usually leave it to the experts for this reason. Anyway, ever since I bought the car, I have had this problem with the left speakers working great & the right speakers putting out nothing but static. I recently bought all new speakers, 6 in total, and when I turn on the radio, the left sounds great, but the right side is nothing but static except for the rear where I get some sound, but mixed with static. Not sure what to check next so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure the radio isn't balanced to the left. Most likely the radio has gone bad.

Spkr problem

You could have a right side speaker wire touching metal either in the door or on the rear deck somewhere.

If the deck is factory you shouldnt have a short behind the radio. If its aftermarket or the factory harness has been spliced you might check there as well.

I would take each speaker out and hook it directly up to a another audio source ie..home stereo or another car stereo or even the other side of your GN radio that is working.

If the speaker works, and you cant find a short, then its probably your radio.

After looking at the wiring Diagram, I would have to agree that the radio is probably bad. The speakers are all brand new so I would doubt they are problem. I do get voltage at all of the wires so I don't believe there is a short. I would like to keep the facory look so I guess I will hunt around for another deck.

Thanks

I'm thinking of sending the radio to this company for repairs. Has anyone ever heard of them? http://www.carradio.com/
