Hi all. I'm at my wit's end. I accurately and successfully followed the directions to replace a few speedo and radio light bulbs along with some in the A/C module. So I hook the battery back up and to my demise sound is only coming out of the right side of the car! Part of the directions in order to remove the dash was to disconnect the front tweeter, but I do not know what I could have done in order to do this! Please help anyone!! Did I chop a wire or did I possibly mess up the radio when I took it out?!

 

It might be something in the radio that went bad when you had it open.

 

Hopefully just some wires were pulled from the harness in back. To knock out audio to a whole side is a little unusual though. Tech may be right which would make it a much bigger problem.

Check the the balance ***. It seems like a simple fix but may have been overlooked.

 

Ok update:

No improvements, and now, my battery drains 5 minutes after being charged....


Just so I recap what I did today.

1. Removed dash and replaced lighbulbs for trip comuter.
2. Removed radio to replace bulbs
3. Removed A/C module to replace bulbs.
4. Replace one broken fog light


What of these could be draining my (1 week old) battery?

And does anyone have any further theories as to why my left speakers are not working?
Im thinking of taking it to an audio store tomorrow and having them hook something up to it and see if it is just the radio that went bad.


Thanks

 

Update: Case closed, and I feel like a ding-dong.

So it was around 3 AM and I was up thinking as to what could be the problem. I mentally backtracked everything I did, and as far as the battery goes, I thought that I possibly may not have tightened up the connection. So sure enough I go outside with a 10mm wrench, tighten her up a bit, and voila, car starts.

As far as the speakers go.....we all learn something new every day. Personally, I never knew pulling out the **** let you adjust the balance. So I thought that I may have messed with it taking apart the radio to get to the bulbs. Again, voila, I turn the puppy to the left and I have sound!

2 very simple solutions to what I thought were going to be 2 very big problems.

Thank you for all of your help!

 

Keep the muzik going......besides the car.. :P
Glad its fixed and I can understand your stress thinking about it at 3:00am - It paid.

 

Sometimes thouse 3:00 am thoughts are our best thoughts. I figure things out in the middle of the night many times. When I was writing very complex computer programs earlier in my career, I would come up with solutions in the middle of the night and could not remember what I came up with the next morning. Occasionally I would sleep with a pen and pad of paper next to my bed so I could write down just enough to jog my memory. Those were long before the day where I could just log on from home.

When I first read your problem I thouhgt of telling you how the balance works, but I didn't want to offend you. What hurts is I've done the same thing.
