RH Side Radio Speakers

I lose my right side speakers when the right power door closes. While driving they come on now again. Anyone know where to start looking for the loose connection?

U have 4 metal contact on your sliding door clean them with an pincil eraser or electrical contact cleaner I bet it will work because I just checked for u . turned on my stereo open slide door that speaker went out closed it it came back on. Not unless one of your contacts are bad.
Hope this helps.Gary

See the problem is it works ok when door is open, when it closes thats when the whole right side disappears.

so I asume the power sliding door is wired different,than the non power door types. do you still have 4 metal contacts on the door frame. If you do i would still try to clean them. I would also check the connects to the speaker it self. May not be so easy to get to though.

Actually I think there are 8 contacts. I did clean them with an eraser and some scotch brite, also put some dielectric grease on all metal contact surfaces.
I also think it has to do with the speaker hook up or the audio unit itself. Getting that frickin radio out is next to impossible for me. :(

Not sure what year you have but the stereo units are actually pretty easy to remove. (at least on my year) There is a tool available but I ground the corners of some wire coat hangers and used them. You ned to release the clips by pushing the tool into the 4 holes on the sides of the stereo and the unit slides out.

Its a 2002 model. I did buy the tools, but still the stupid thing will not release.

I thought I would never be able to remove my radio ... even with the proper tools. I was pushing the tools in much too deeply.

Once able to look at the latch on the removed radio, I now know how little to press the tool inward.

Thanks for the insight 12Ounce.
