Hello,

 

My Galaxy 01(Y) 2.3 Ghia has a few faults which I am working through and one of them is loss of sound, right hand channel on my head unit. I believe there is no amp so I am thinking it could be the head unit. There is some sound from the right hand speakers (Tweeter, door speakers and rear) but no way as loud as left channel. I presume all the right speakers are fed of different outputs from the head unit. Any ideas?

 

Are the head units difficult to remove as the ford handbook has no gen on removal?

 

Cheers

Check the wires in the rubber gaitor to the door, wiggling it about usually shows it up. The wires in here are prone to breaking.

oh yes my drivers door speaker needs a wiggle of the boot to make it work sometimes, I assume that the drivers door boot wires are most likely to fail due to it being the most used

[RAL]

But would this effect all the right speakers, qty 4?

[seatkid]

The wires can also short which would effect all speakers.

 

Just wiggle the boots with the radio on and it may be obvious.

I have wriggled the boots no difference. It is strange the front tweeter is the loudest and then the volume decreases as you go to front door speaker, then rear door speaker and then the rear boot speaker, no volume,If you alter the balance to full right and turn up the volume there is a lot of distortion.

what happens when you fade from front to rear ?

[RAL]

when you fade to the front there is some sound out of the front dash tweeter but if fade fully to rear there is no sound at all.

ummm...have you checked they are all connected up???..when i took the door card off the rear passenger door, i found that the wire was not connected to the sppeaker at all hence no sound from it....could also be a naffed wire somewhere??

Update,

 

Looks like I have short in the drivers door. I gave it a wriggle and the rears are working but no sound from drivers door. I bet one of the wires has snapped.

 

Thanks for your replies.

Glad you got your problem (nearly ) sorted RAL. ... what a helpful group of guys on this forum.

 

My son has just bought an R reg Galaxy and has a similar ...but slightly different ...problem :blink:

 

Both channels are fine when the listening to the radio ,but the right channel is well down on all speakers when listening to a CD. I have wiggled away at the plug where it enters the CD changer, but it didn't burst into life (or die completely :lol:

 

Hope you can help me out

 

Thanks

You don't have to smash the side window if you own the car though...... :)

if i was you i would ditch the ford heah unit and put in a decent 1din headunit, it doesnt cost the earth and the sound quality

is miles better than the ford headunits
