Important: The following information lists the most probable cause of the concern to the least probable cause followed by the appropriate test for that condition. If the list leads to the replacement of a component, always inspect for a poor connection before proceeding with the replacement. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Without Premium Audio

1. Speaker output shorted - Test all speaker outputs for a short. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
2. Defective radio - Replace the radio. Refer to Radio Replacement .

With Premium Audio

1. Speaker output shorted - Test all speaker outputs for a short. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
2. Low level audio signal circuit shorted. Test all low level audio signal circuits for a short to ground or short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
3. Defective radio - Replace the radio. Refer to Radio Replacement .

Without Premium Audio

1. Speaker output open. Test the appropriate speaker output circuits for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
2. No audio output from the radio. Test for any AC voltage between the appropriate speaker output circuits at the speaker harness connector, disconnected with the radio volume adjusted to an audible level. If AC voltage is present, replace the speaker. Refer to Speaker Replacement Reference . If no AC voltage is present, replace the radio. Refer to Radio Replacement .
