Ok, so out of no where my driver side top dash speaker started cutting out today then by end of my 2 hour drive nothing from it all. Then I check driver door and same thing; nothing.

 

Could this be a Connectivity problem? Are these two speakers running off of each other? Something doesn’t seem right for both to go right at the exact same time.

 

Any help is appreciated.

Front door speaker and dash are tied together.

So one of them may be fine? Meaning if one goes down, they both go down?

 

I’m at a loss of what would cause this to just start to go in and out then all of the sudden just stop.

I'm assuming your system is not Bose and you do not have an aftermarket headunit and your speakers are still stock.  

Both the door speakers and dash speakers are tied together in parallel in right and left channels.  And from what I understand the factory headunit is very picky about the ohm load it sees.  I see your truck is a 2014, it's a good chance your speakers are just worn out and the ohm load now is not within the factory headunit's tolerances.  I would start by simply unhooking the dash speaker and see if the door speaker comes back.  If no change, plug the dash speaker back in and unhook the door speaker.  If still no change I would unhook both speakers, find a speaker that I know for a fact works and rig it with some speaker wire to one of the speaker connectors and see if you get sound then.

They both work again now, but do still go out and in here and there.

One of them must be on the way out then I take it?

May be time to finally add a nice set of speakers and amp now.

Yes, by the way this is non bose with factory HU and no amp right now.

Yup, I bet one of them is probably blown. An amp and new component speakers would fix your problem nicely.

May want to check the connectors on the back of stereo unit for being loose.

 

Same symptoms happened to my F150. I had been at the Furd dealer on electrical seat warranty issue and the tech thought he would drum up additional cake work and loosened the plug from the head unit. when the speakers started cutting out 2 days later i didn't take it back to the stealer but got up in there and found the connector cocked on an angle hanging by a thread. Pushed it back in and never went back.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      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.
