'00 Cherokee Speaker problem
 

The speaker in the drivers side door has stopped working. Actually, it
still works, but something is preventing it from working.

Here is what I have done so far:

Removed affected speaker and tested it - WORKS
Removed stereo head unit and checked connections, and output for this
speaker - WORKS
Attempted to check the wires running from the head unit to the door but
was unable to follow them.

The is a stock Chrysler CD head unit.

Is this a common problem? Is there an easy or semi-easy way to fish a
new wire through without ripping the whole dash apart?

Any ideas on fixing this would be appreciated.

Thanks
Mort

yes it is a common issue and the best way to fix it is replace the door
harness which is a costly thing but the right way
there is splices in the harness that work loos3e over time

My 2000 Cherokee had the same problem with the stock radio and speakers,
same speaker too, drivers side. I installed an aftermarket AM/FM/CD player
and speakers. I had to run a wire directly from the head unit to the speaker
to get it to work.

How did you run the new wires? It looked nearly impossible to fish the
wire from what I could see. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
