Will It Ever End?

[keith9534]

Got a "new" amplifier for my Mk1 as I couldn`t get any sound from the radio.......fitted a changer unit

 

But I can`t get any sound from the middle set of speakers?

 

Is there any common fault in this area?

 

I really don`t want to start pulling everything out unless I have too.........anyone?

Do you know why the original amp failed ?

 

Broken wires in the door boot is a common fault and it is possible that the wires in the middle doors could be broken. It is also possible that they shorted out and led to the demise of the original amp.

 

Check the wiring in the door boots ASAP to eliminate the possiblity of killing your new amp.

Original amp had a blown Ic (Tda 7253)

 

Will check the speaker wiring...seems strange how its both sides of one set though?

 

The amp has four seperate channels so it could be that each pair uses one channel.

I Just puchased a 1998 R reg galaxy and about a week later i realised that when opening the driver side passenger door the two speakers in the door stop working.

 

Not only that but when i closed the door they didnt work for about three minutes afterwards.

I'm planning on looking at the wireing in the door cards as there must be a break in the cables.

 

Very annoying though until i do!!

The problem is probably in the rubber boot to the door.

 

Common problem.

[Zonal_82]

Is that the small switch that senses if the door is open?

 

or the housing of the cables?

[mk2vr6]

its the bit thats near the hinges on the a and b posts,the big black rubber bellows

[Zonal_82]

ok cheers i'll check it out.

 

do you know if they are easily removable? and would you recomended try to fix the cable?
