Interior Accessories problem... Help???


Recommended Posts

Posted

Alright, here's the deal. I installed my new kenwood speakers last night in the front and rear locations...

 

Here's the steps I followed for some background:

 

-Hit Dome light override while sitting there wondering how long it'd take

-Removed negative battery terminal

-Removed rear panels, installed new rear speakers, replaced panels

-Removed Front door panels, installed new speakers, reinstalled panels.

-Reconnect battery, noticed the dome light wasn't on, hit dome-light override, no dice... notice power windows and locks no longer work, no keyless entry...

-Remove negative cable again, reinstall, nothing... Truck runs fine, just anything dealing with the accessories on the doors (with the exception of the power mirrors) doesn't work.

 

Anyways, what I thinking, and hopefully someone can verify, is that one of the plugs is loose on the inside of the front door panels, and that all those systems (PW, PL, etc.) share some sort of relay. I didn't take the panels off again, as I figured it was a fuse, but I think now it covered too many things to be a fuse. I checked every fuse on the truck, both visually and with a digital voltmeter. I'm at a loss here... I've never had anything like this happen, especially for something as simple as new speakers being installed.

 

If anyone out there has a clue, please help?

 

Thanks,

Will

Did you make sure you plugged the harnesses in good on the switch panel. I'd look there or fuses. Probably look at fuses first since it's the easiest to do.

Yeah, but I'm thinking now they might have shaken loose when I reinstalled the panels.

 

I've pretty much ruled out all the fuses, I checked them all visually as well as with a voltmeter.

 

I'm just confused as to how so many things are being affected if it is a loose connection (espcially only 1 of 4) or something.

If either one of the harness is not hooked up, then you will loose the functions including the dome light. It happened to me when I replaced the speakers. I would check the drivers side one first and then the passenger side. ]

Hope this helps!
