The speakers on my 1G DSM are randomly not working. The rears haven't worked in years. I pulled the radio out today and tried to pull and reinsert the 2 connectors on the rear, and that helped a bit, but I still can't get audio to all 6 speakers consistently (2 dash, 2 doors, 2 rears). Jiggling the wires and connectors got various speakers to cut in and out, but, again, inconsistently. I yanked all the terminals out of the connectors and they all look fine, as do the crimps and wires, and the male spades in the radio.
Is this a common issue with old 1G DSM's? I can't find anything wrong with the connectors, so I'm thinking that the problem is downstream, and that my jiggling the connectors to get some speakers to work actually yanked at something downstream. Before I pull everything out, which is going to be a pain in that tight space, any clues as to where the problems tend to lie? If it's a common thing then I'll know where to look. Otherwise I'll just take it one step at a time till I figure it out and solve it. But any advice would help.
