Drivers door speaker - aaron_one - 29-09-2015
Recently bought my 306 but the drivers door speaker doesn't work! The window etc works but not the speaker, any suggestions as to what it might be before I start tearing everything out?

RE: Drivers door speaker - aaron_one - 29-09-2015
I have old blaupunkt ones I could try yup. So I have to take the whole door off?

No you dont have to take the whole door off!!!!! You only have to take the door card off! Start by taking off the triangular mirror shroud then take the armrest off 2x 8mm hex or star driver!then the interior door handle plastic sorround which pops off from the front to the rear(do it in reverse and you'll break the front clip!!!
The door card pops off from the bottom edge near the sill and has 3 or 4 pop clips along the bottom and a couple more on each side!
Once you've done the speaker make sure you clip the long metal runner/ guide that runs the length of the top of the door card back on to it's channel on the top of the door skin/window runner/seal, and at the same time make sure you line up the lock button rod with the lock button hole befor you scre the armrest back on and replace the handle shroud!

To check/repair the door loom it makes it a lot easier with the door off
And you dont need to take the door card off to change the speaker

Just take the speaker grill off and check speaker wiring and test a working speaker you have lying around.
I'd try that before taking door panel off, even though neither jobs are particularly difficult

Might sound a little condescending as well (but worth checking!
), but have you checked the stereo settings? Only reason I mention it is my mum bought a new car recently, and complained to me that the drivers side speaker wasn't working, turned out the balance was set all the way left! 
As others have said, check the wiring to the speaker itself first (connection may have come loose), if not, try a working speaker, and then the door loom from there if it still doesn't work.
RE: Drivers door speaker - aaron_one - 01-10-2015
Haha yeah that was the first thing I checked, happened on my missus car once upon a time and I found out that way. I'll check the wiring to the speaker tomorrow in the light!
