Speakers Going Haywire!?

[sethaiyaar]

Hi guys,

Ok here is the problem, a couple of weeks ago i noticed when turning left or right, smtimes even when braking, and esp acceleration the speakers started cutting out, like all sound went to the Right smtimes to Left speaker then came back to normal....Now thou, it is permanantly stuck on the righ side....i tried changing the balance but when i change to full on left speaker there is hardly any sound.

Anyone have any ideas on this?...or could identify any key areas where the problem might be...the speaker connections or the headunit connections?

oh and just like to clarify that my Headunit is perfectly fine, like nothing wrong with CD changer or anything.

Bad earthing my guess.

would not have a clue how to fix it.

an auto sparky would have tools to find that stuff out

[Chris Rogers]

clarify this fault - it happens when, under what rules, what source? radio and CD or CD only.

if so then it looks like you DO have a CD issue. it will drop an ENTIRE side. if you are losing it under both sources then the problem is still in the radio just in a different spot.

autosparky wont have a clue. unless you have the radio service manual ( I do) then you wont get a lot of help.

Chris,

ok, well NOW it happens continuously, i.e its been like this for days ( the sound being stuck on the right side speakers. )

...and reading your post i went out and checked, it only happens in CD mode, in RADIO mode it is fine...so CD ONLY.

hope it clarifies it.

[V35_Paul]

can you play your CDs in your DVD player?

If so... I have just fixed your car.

Check or money order will do fine

it does. I have a car in the workshop now with the same issue. I have to tear it down on monday and the 'fault' lies in the CD section (where it runs through 4 different paths.)

I can fix it anyway. looks like a good time to roll out the reworked/retuned radios that I have here.

umm, i dont have the option with the screen, so i only have the CD player.

umm ok, so this is definitely not a job in which you can tell me to "try this" and then 'try that' and it 'should be all good?'...because your in brisbane and im in sydney?....and what do u mean its a good time to roll out the radios?

[Chris Rogers]

nope - its all internal to the radio. I have a fellow that sent me one via reg post ( Hi Hillbilly) with the same issue. I'l going to do a service on that one whilst I have it.

in saying that I should probably knock up a chargeable jig (that way I get it back) so you have A/C and no radio.

if you want to pull the radio and send it to me (RADIO ONLY- NO PANEL!! ) I'll fix it for you.)

as for my comment I've been quietly working on 'new' radios for these both bose and non bose versions that tune correctly and display correctly - only issue is price as I literally rebuild the stacker at the same time. ( they are roughly a $750-800 radio.). these are the original radios recal'd and reworked.

[prdreilly]

Yep, have the same problem. Haven't fixed it yet, but it seems the cheapest solution is to work around it, with an Ipod adapter.

thanks prdreilly, but i have a question, can you do the ipod connector thing on a NON-bose system?...i rmbr chris putting up a DIY for connecting an ipod...or was that on g35driver....but yeh can you?

[Chris Rogers]

you can do it on both. both units have the option of external stacker.

[Chris Rogers]

bit of interesting info and I'm going to need chassis numbers to confirm.

the car have here has a PN2613E in it. those have an ENTIRELY different CD mech in them. this is in a may 2004 coupe.

the 2413/14 twins (bose/nonbose) have the same issue but its in a different spot. this one looks like a component issue.

those with the above problem can I grab chassis numbers please. that will tell me if yours is fixable or not.

Hi Chris,

My VIN is CPV35-508342.

I'm inclined to go for the IPOD option for cost reasons, but out of interest am happy for you to forward a quote.

[sethaiyaar]

Hi chris,

here is my Vin number : CVP35507357

could you also quote me on fixing the radio when sent to you?...and im also interested about that refurbished radio you are working on, just to clarify when you meant everything is displayed correctly does that also mean there is no need for the FM modulator anymore?

Hey Chris,

I haven't been using my Ipod for a while and this week when I started playing it in the car I noticed sound was only coming out of the right speakers. No sound from Left. Switched it back to CD and MD and its fine, both speakers work. Could it be a loose wiring caused when u pulled my center console apart few weeks back? This is in the blue car.

[Chris Rogers]

jon,

in your case - possible,

if you are in teh area on friday drop past.

[Chris Rogers]

ok this is more FYI than anything else.

the issue seems to be with the PN2613/14 twins (13 being non bose.). unlike the 2413/14 versions (2001-2003) this thing is ENTIRELY different. that said if there is a CD mech issue in the 2613/14 - its a LOT easier to fix than the otehr one.

2413/14 - its a radio issue and not a CD one.

the dropped audio fault lies in the CD mech itself and requires a total strip of it. there are 4 boards in there and 3 places that the audio routes. on one there is usually a dry joint- its NOT a job for the beginner and unless you have a service manual I STRONGLY sugggest NOT attempting it.
