Default speakers

Had new speakers installed on my 98 Cherokee because no sound was coming from the right front and left rear speakers. After the new speakers were installed, no sound was coming out of the same troubled sides. The installation guy at Best Buy said it was probably the radio....something about this being common on Chrysler radios. Any similar experiences?

More common is a wiring issue between the heat unit and the doors. SEARCH and you should be able to find more information about this. Not uncommon; I have it on my drivers door.

Get an ohm meter/multi meter and set to beep/ohms. Pull the HU out and test the speaker wire pairs. If the meter reads something it's the HU. If it reads 0.0L it's your wiring and you are in for some fun

99% chance that speaker wires are pinched inside the rubber door boots. Do a search on speaker - you will find it.

I had the same problem with my 2000. I had to run new wire, pretty easy to do.
