Front speakers not working.
Does you jeep have an aftermarket stereo? Who ever hooked up mine before I bought it just used electric tape to connect the wires behind the stereo lol I would hit a bump and they would go out. I wiggled the wires with the stereo on until I found which wires were not connected. After fixing that, my front pass door speaker went out and it turned out to be a broken wire going between the wiring connection plug by the kick panel and the speaker in the door. I had to use a multi meter to find it because the wire was broken inside of its protective plastic cover. Also I have noticed that wires run right underneath the carpet and can break from being stepped on.

First thing to check... the plug where the wire attaches to the speaker. That was the problem on mine, I went ahead and ran new wires to the head unit anyway, because the ones that are there are crap.
Seen this many times. The factory wires break in the door boot between the jeep and door. If u take the kick panel off and cut open the door boot you will find that the factory wires corrode and break. easiest solutions is to run new wires from the speaker into the kick and tap the wires there.
tip: always crimp or solder wires

It's good to get rid of the factory speaker wiring, anway, cuz IMHO the gauge is too small and the insulation is too thin.
