How To Fix Car Audio Speaker Not Working One Side


car speakers not working wiring layout for troubleshooting

If your car stereo speakers only plays one side, the soundstage will appear all over the place as it will not sound balanced throughout the car. If you have checked all the speaker connections and the speakers are still playing only on one side, then check the fader settings on the car stereo. This setting is found usually in the audio settings, the same one under equalizer that allows you to move the sound from the front to the back. You might have accidentally moved the sound to one side so the speakers only plays in a certain direction. This can easily be fixed by adjusting the fader settings in your car cd player. Also if you are using an aux cable, it can also cause your speakers to only play one side as the small wires inside the 3.5mm connector can break off.
