With the original radio in the car; the front door speakers are where the music comes out.
If you set the fader to the rear, no music comes out.
I was led to believe this was normal and that my new radio will fix it because it has the rear channels in it.
Then I noticed the wiring diagram for my car's speakers:
If I'm reading this right, the REAR door speakers should be where the sound comes out.
I'm thinking that the service manual has a typo in it. Especially since connector X230 doesn't have enough unused spaces in it for the 8 speaker leads and that no mention of the speaker wires is on the connector page. X267 has the speaker leads listed on the connector diagram.
Damn that is poor engineering. The number of connectors shown is nuts. In audio or most electrics, the fewer connector junctions the better, less chance for oxidation and failure. Now if the ziggy line at each segment is to differentiate same audio for several model vehicles, and it is just one connector, that would make more sense. Out of curiosity let us know what you find.
ReplyDeleteDashed lines across the wires are connectors.
DeleteThose diagonal lines are showing the lines are twisted pairs and there's a number showing the correct number of twists.
Looks like you're right to me. That says the rear speakers should be what are working.
ReplyDeleteNext mystery: if those wires that are labelled "not used" are installed, "all ya gotta do" (absolutely the most terrifyingly awful phrase in all tech work) is hook them up to the right pins on the radio. If they're not installed, you have to run them.
Police car,no speakers to rear? WX7 option police related? Schematic says not used.If the speaker grills are there you could run the wires and install the speakers,doubt the speakers are installed in the door panels considering the option code.
ReplyDeleteLook carefully at the wire colors in that schematic. I think it's an error.
