Door speaker problem

[scully]

Hi,
got my corsa just today, and found that left door speaker is not working?
how would i test to find out whether its the speaker or the wiring thats not working?
and is it easy??

cheers

test the speaker, just take the lower panel off, remove the speaker, then connect a 1.5V battery to the speaker wires. if it pops/moves then the speaker is fine and it could just be the connection between the door or behind the headunit.

Checking the door:

Open the door, and look for the big black rubber tube. It connects to the door & A-pillar. Check make sure thats connected fine and secure.

If the speaker doesn't pop though, as you have just seen its easy enough to get to! (if you checked the speaker with a battery) so just go to a scrappers and get one out of another corsa.

Hey cheers, checked the speaker, was working fine

checked the wiring at the back was fine but then i checked again but closer, and one of the pins was not in properly

both speakers now working

thanks!

I would start by assumming its wiring, so cheak all connections. Because a broken speaker will tend to crackle.
