in my 99 cherokee classic the left door speakers wont work! the tweeter and the lower speaker haven't woked since i have owned my jeep. i searched for ideas and i still can't find anything. it has the infinty system so does anyone have the wiring diagram for this? or does anyone know where else to look? thanks

pull the lower part of the panel away, and remove the speaker. probably just a speaker lead, broken wire or something simple like that.

if not, it could be the wire that goes into the harness clip at the back of the stereo.
if you pull the speaker out, you'll know what colour the speaker wire for that side is.

but don't those speakers go into the amp?

i just put new speakers in the doors and even before that they didn't work

Then there is a wiring issue or your amp is not working properly. Check your FSM for details.

I just had the stock 4 speaker cheapy system in my 91 XJ sport when I bought it. speakers in front doors and 2 speakers in the hatch. The left side speakers never did work. The left channel was apparently blown in the stock stereo. I now have a Sony X-plode deck and speakers, all using the original speaker wires and it all sounds great, now.

I had the drivers side door speaker go out on my 99 sport, turned out to be a corroded/ broken wire in the rubber tubing that goes from the door into the kick panel area....was a pita to find though (the front dr. side speaker was the only one not working, the other front and both backs were working, thats how i ruled out a faulty stereo) i dont have the tweeter but if all the other speakers work, and the fade and balance work on the radio i would suggest following them wires

and x2 on the sony decks, awesome stereos

My right side speakers weren't working, but I just pulled off the pass. front pane., and it ended up that the wire going to the speaker had been unplugged (rattling I think). Also I noticed that If I did not position the speakers correctly in the slot, and the terminals touched anywhere, It screwed up the whole system.

I'd say just pull off your panel. and make sure you are getting power down there.

It is a common thing, especially on 97-01 XJ's. It is a wiring issue, I have the same problem with mine, but I didn't care enough to fix it.

Im pretty much having the same problem in my 96. The left door speaker will work when the doors are open but when I close it nothing...I think the wires that run from the speaker through the rubber boot are gettin smashed and causing it to go out when the door is shut....

Quick version I'll do a write up if enough people want to know.
Reference the three pictures with respect to the wiring portions.
1) remove door trim panel and speaker
2) remove kick panel.
3) Note colors of speaker wires in door.
4) locate same colors in harness inside kick panel.
5) cut wires on door side of harness and splice about 18" of wire on.
6) attach new wire to coat hanger or stout wire and feed through the rubber grommet in door.
7) Trim to length and attach OE speaker connector if using OE speakers.
8) Test to ensure speaker works.
9) Reassemble
10) enjoy.

As another idea on the wiring, when i followed one of the wires back, it connected into a plastic thing, which seemed to splice the wire....not sure what it was for...possibly a run off in for something mine didnt come with...but thats where the issue was, and i think i remember the wire comming out a diff color into the kick panel.....so actually take some time and trace the wires

thats the junction for the tweeters that go on in the corner of the window behind the mirror. The short version that I did doesn't include double checking the wire colors etc. In this version some common sense is implied. In a full write up a lack of it would be accounted for!

What gauge of speaker wires did you use to re-wire the driver side speakers?

Some stuff left over from my Boston Acoustics set, 16 ga. I believe. I have a good system but I'm not into competition or anything like that.
