2001 XJ front speakers
I have a 2001 XJ and the front speakers don't work I put in a new head unit, and bought new speakers. Any ideas where I might start digging through the wires?

Same issue so I figured its something in the door bundle. Due up for new speakers all around and a new head unit so I'll just pull all of the old junk and run new. Speaker wire is cheap.

Step 1. Take off front door panel
Step 2. Take out speaker
Step 3.cut speaker wire and re wire it with new wires
Why? Cuz after years of opening and closing the doors they have worn away the wires thus making it an incomplete circuit.
It's common, especially in Cherokees, did mine a few months ago.

I have the same problem. Anybody got a picture of which wire it is for the speakers in the wiring harness behind the kicker panel? Id like to do mine ASAP.

Just leave the old wires in there, there all bounded up and shrink wrapped once inside the body. Just pop off the door panel and run the new wire from your speaker through your door into the body and just run it up alone through the dash and up to behind your head unit and hook it up just make shure you zip tie the wire to solid parts up in the dash so it dosent fall down near the pedals.

If you are going to replace the wire just make sure that you run the same gauge wire as the wire coming out of your head unit. Its always a good idea to replace the factory wire on an older vehicle as the copper ages it gets brittle it oxidizes.

It's pretty easy in my 00 xj, you just have to take off the front pannel and your head unit. But idk with earlier jeep models.

Use a straitened metal coat hanger electric tape the wire to the end and ease it down behind the head unit (with the trim and radio removed ) its mad easy ive installed many after market radios and replaced speakers amps etc and ive only had lil knowledge bout it all when i started doin those jobs
