Hey all
i just got this car a while back. Had to completely gut the interior due to the degree of filth and rust repairs.

Now for first time ever i got the radio going. Nothing from the rear speakers, no signal as checked with tester. I suspect i may have missed something when i put everything back together. Curious if anybody actually knows where the wires run and where they plug together.

Probably a dumb question
Thanks

 

Not sure if you have navigation or some aftermarket unit in the car, but the OEM setup has the speakers plug directly into the audio unit with a bunch of other items on the same connector.

 

no nav or aftermarket
Do not believe i pulled anything from the head unit but could be mistaken.
Fronts work fine
I was hoping there was a connection in the vicinity of the under dash fusebox or something random

Everything else back there (lights) seem to work and they are all in the same major harness

 

It is possilbe the previous owner put a sound system in the back and cut the rear speaker wires. Pulling the audio unit isn't too bad of a job. I'm sure youtube has some how-to's on this that will help.

 

Possible but unlikely
i see nothing at all that appears to be chopped up.
my assumption is that I popped a plug in a weird spot when i gutted the car and failed to put it back

 

Way back when we used a 9 volt battery on the harness coming out of the radio to check speakers

 

You might want to check the equalizer settings to see if the sound is set to just the front speakers.

 

that was the first thing i tried. Fader all the way back = silence. Balance makes the fronts react as expected.
Havent poked them with the 9v battery yet.
Front speeks work fine. Stock radio. No chop job wiring. No evidence that the main plug could be fouled up.

I assume i will be pulling things apart to trace the connections back to the head. Im just confused at this point
