Driver side door speaker not working

I have a 2006 Silverado 1500HD with the factory Bose setup. It is completely stock with no modifications to it. My driver door speaker has completely stopped working. It seems like the tweeter in the pillar is still working. This weekend coming up I am going to try to tear into the truck and check all connections, speaker, behind the stereo. Where is the amp for this setup? Is it in the center console?? also are there any other possible short areas that could be causing this. I eventually want to replace the entire setup, however its not going to be this year. Just need to get it working for now as cheaply as possible. Ideas?

 

Thanks

I wish mine was a simple - my 07 speaker went intermittent and then finally stopped. Tore into it today and the speaker itself was bad - had to get a GM replacement - no aftermarket :M16: . Well I did find one dealer open today with one in stock - so a trip across town and 40.00 later it was fixed.

 

I also had problems with the window control switches - so while I was at it I tore into it as well - with nothing to lose - I tore it apart and cleaned the contacts with some IPA and low and behold it now works just fine - saved me about $75.00.

My drivers door speaker had stopped working for the last year also, but it will come back on every now and then. I think I will try to save up to replace all of them with aftermarket. Only bad thing is I will have to modify a bit from what I have heard. Or maybe if I get off my lazy butt and tear into it, it might be a connection problem. :dunno:

If it is a connection problem it is probably something internal to the speaker (mine was - the speaker read open on an ohmmeter) - the main wires connect to the speaker with a latching connector that is very hard to pop off. Actually if you go to a car stereo shop they could probably modify things for some aftermarket retrofit. The speaker is already housed in a molded plastic piece that snaps into an opening in the sheet metal with a combination of tabs, and a single screw. The back of the plastic has a hard foam sealant while on the front there is a piece of soft foam that acts as a cushion between the speaker and the door panel. The beauty of the GM system is that it only requires on screw, and the speaker is isolated from the door panels - I am not sure if you could get all of that in an aftermarket.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
