Ok so ive decided that i hate the factory radio anyway since my cd changer does work (anyone wanna buy a good cartridge? lol), so does anyone have a pinout or wire coloring (or will a regular short ford harness plug into the output plug from the factory amp?) for the output of the factory am in the back. I cant see spending 25bux on the bypass harness when i have like 6 sets of RCAs and a couple 4 channel amps laying around that i could just use to run my highs instead of the built in amp in my aftermarket HU.


So is this terrible excuse for a factory high end system SUPPOSED to be louder on the right (passenger) side? Ive had a few radios that had crappy time correction that would basically lower the volume on the left but never as bad as this thing does. I switched the factory speakers out for some sony aftermarkets because I thought the left front speaker was blown (yes the sound output is that low from that speaker). Has anyone delt with this or had/have the same issue?
 






Check the balance on the radio, maybe it's set too far to one side.
And, if the speaker is acting up, just swap it for a different one.
 






Speakers have already been changed out. And the balance is the is thing I checked.

Sounds like the Radio or Amp are crapping out.
I'd recommend you just get a new radio and bypass the factory amp.
