I have a 2007 GMC Sierra, newest body style. This morning when I started the truck only the small front speakers are working. I have never had any trouble with the audio system before. I get no sound from the door or rear speakers. Only sound I get is coming from the two small speakers on the pillar. Looking at the fuse panels in the owners manual, I only see one fuse for the audio system. Any ideas on what is wrong?

 

Thanks,

Steve

I doubt that all of the speakers except the little ones on the pillar would go bad at the exact same time.

There must be a connector or wire bad some place but I don't know where to look.

You are probably right but blackout is also right. I had a speaker stop working.

There are many opinions on this I just take them from work trucks, if you go to put one in you'll find the stock ones are in a stupid raised housing, search in the audio section. People are very creative with what they did for the door.

My left front started working yesterday. Then it quit again. I am thinking that the rest have been out for some time. I don't listen to music, just ESPN radio to and from work everyday.

Very common GM truck problem. Speakers go out one at a time but you don't notice it until they have all bit the dust. Pick up 2 sets of speakers from Feebay and you will be blown away by the poor factory sound you used to have.

 

 

That is exactly what happened. I have a friend that owns a car stereo business. I stopped by his place yesterday on the way home from work. He installed 4 new Alpine speakers in my truck. The difference is unreal. It made the truck enjoyable to drive again.

Same thing here. Truck is under warranty for a couple months more so I had the dealer fix. If not under warranty I will get different speakers cuz the oem ones suck anyway.

I seem to get alot of vibration from my rear passenger speaker. It vibrates alot, sounds loose but it's the only one doing it. So wondering if it's busted?

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
