Left front speaker doesn't work
Hey guys. I was installing a new deck in my jeep and I noticed that my front left speaker wasn't working.
I hooked up another speaker directly to the front left channel of the deck, and it worked fine. I also unplugged the front left speaker and tested the speaker on it's own, and the speaker works fine.
I thought it might be the wiring in between the speaker and the deck that's the problem, so I checked the wires with a multimeter. The brown/red wire was connected fine, but I checked the green wire and it wasn't connected.
What can I do now? Do I have to replace the bad wire? If so, how hard would it be to fish it through all the way?
Any help would be great, thanks!

Yeah since it has a break somewhere along it you cant really "fish" it through but running a new wire shouldnt be that hard just follow the old one as best you can

Yea I have the same issue. Chrysler wiring sucks. Wires always break in doors. I had to resplice mines as a temp but yea ultimately you should run new wires through door grommet

and then I'll just run new wire through the door to the speaker. Thanks for the help guys
