2004 Chev Impala speakers not working

[Roy_Munson]

What if I bypass the amp with one of those harnesses? Does that do anything to help me get sound out of the radio, or am I still screwed?

[Roy_Munson]

Not that anyone is reading, but I never could find a bad connection. So as a last ditch effort I ordered the amp bypass deal for $12 on eBay, plugged it in and suddenly I had radio. Working like a champ for about three days straight, after it had been totally silent for about a week. It sounds different, but OK after I changed the bass and treble. All four speakers are honking just fine. The only weird thing is the front/rear fade adjustment is reversed, but that's no biggie.

Anyway, maybe this will save somebody some time. Try the bypass before you start yanking the trim and pulling up all the wires that you'll have to jam back under the carpet later.

the two orange wires and he one will be in the middle of wire buddle, look for the black duck tap, that is where I found mine. I stripped the all three wires. turned the radio on, then connected the wires, my radio worked for the first time in two years. I left the radio one while I put everything back to together. IF you need any help, email: [email protected].

Good luck.

2004 impala front speakers not working (tweeters are working).. The whole system works except for the two front bass speakers. wondering if the under carpet wires on back floor (passenger side) could be involved here.. have reseated both connectors in the trunk and have visually inspected the wires inside both doors. Anything appreciated..

My own answer: Seems the contacts in the door speakers were only corroded a little. After opening the pax door speaker unpluging the speaker and hitting it with a little spray contact cleaner it's working nicely. Next time I'll get out the soldering iron and get rid of the plugs altogether..
