Stock sub not working...

[old fart]

Please help me trouble shoot this. I am getting power to the sub amp and there is power for the remote turn on lead. Is there any way to check for input signal? The sub is OK.

Also, does anyone know where to get those plugs that hold the panel in place? Ford doesn't sell the red ones anymore.

Thanks

Thanks for the replies.

Find a junk yard with a wrecked explorer for the clips, junk yards never fail for stuff like that

Update...

OK, I replaced the amp with a Sony unit. Still didn't work. The 2 channel amp is now my culprit. No signal from it. The Sub measures 8ohms so that seem OK.

I took the 2 channel appart. It looks like a couple leads vibrated off. If you ask me, this JBL amp is very poor construction...

do a continuity test on the speaker make sure that works.
