Question How to access rear roof speaker wires?

When I was trying to replace my rear speakers I accidentally yanked too hard on the drivers side speaker wire and I think I may have disconnected something in the roof. I can no longer hear sound from the rear drivers side and Ive tried different speakers to test but still hear nothing. Is there a guide to getting to the rear speaker wires? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

just try and trace the wires back to where there is a break or w/e is causing the issue, worst comes to worse just re-run the wires, no biggie.....

i setup a speaker bar in the front of my cherokee and just ran quick wires from the rear up front, its not too technical

I guess the only question I have is how do I get to the speaker wires in the back? Are they behind the rear center tail light? I cant really reach the wires through where the speaker rests. I'm sure this involves removing the headliner but I'm not sure where to start.

no just take out the rear speakers and splice some speaker wire from the passenger speaker to the driver speaker and it should work, im refering to the rear ones its not that hard just unscrew your rear speakers
