- 1996 Explorer Sport 2WD
Hey, guys, been a while since I've been on here, but in the past month or so, my 1996 Explorer Sport has developed some odd issues with the speakers.
While going on rough roads/terrain, I've noticed that the front driver's side and rear passenger side speaker have intermittently become softer. Not completely cut out, just softer. I have an aftermarket head unit (It's a sony, but I don't know all its details; it was installed when I got the car a year ago) installed, and I just took that out today looking for poor connections.
My search yielded nothing. All connectors appear to be put on correctly, and everything *looks* in order. However, after reconnecting everything, the problem persists. I have had the door panels off for a couple days, fixing the window motors, and I checked the connections to the speakers as well. Still nothing.
My fear is that, since it appears as though the installer did not really know what he was doing (several obvious missed steps in installing the DIN adapter), he messed something up with the harness.
So, my fellow explorer owners, where can I go from here? I've done a lot of troubleshooting and searching on here, but I am really at a loss now that I've eliminated a poor connection to the HU itself.
