Hi there, I recently bought the car listed above for myself. Got it at a good price but I had an accident on the right-side mirror. Replaced the side mirror everything worked, window works fine with the driver side control. Then I recently tried to replace the speakers on the inside of the passenger and driver door. The driver's side works great but the passenger side doesn't. I could hear a faint clicking coming from it and I first thought it was the speaker. So, I switched out the passenger one for the driver and that side still didn't work with a known good speaker. So, at this point I gave up hope for having speakers in my car, so I asked a friend if there was any way of hooking up the speaker with a messed-up wiring map. He told me to sell the car but, then he said you might be able to jerry rig it to the fuse box and rewire the entire speaker side. If anyone has experienced a similar situation or if this is even possible that would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like the wiring to the speak got damaged, I would look at the wiring harness in the door jam on the right side to see if you can find anything. Also, check the speaker balance control on the radio. Here is a guide to help you check the wiring and the radio wiring diagrams in case you need to run new wires to the speaker:

Check out the diagrams. (Below) Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.
