Title: First it's there then it's not
Post by: coronaryman on 19 February 2008, 00:20:47

Hi all got sound problems.
The speakers in my car seem to be posessed. Some days you can get in and have sound on all four door speakers. (Bose not working at moment previous owner has disconnected it.) Next day you get in and only drivers door speaker working. Then as you go along one or both of the rear speakers may cut in. About a week later the passenger front one may decide to play again. Its driving me mad. Had all door cards off and checked wiring all soldered joints and very secure but still plays up. Sound always comes back eventually but only when it feels like it. Got in tonight and fired her up and there was a very rapid clicking noise from behind the dash sounded like every relay behind there firing off in rapid sucsession for about 15 seconds. Guess what ? all 4 speakers working again for today at least.
Anyone any ideas on the speakers and the clicking please

You have checked all the obvious for dry / loose joints, but if you have a rubbing or chafed cable that is earthing out, that can also cause a system to shut down the audio as the head unit goes into a protection mode.

But if you have relays clicking, then I would do some serious investigating instead of driving, as could be a bit more serious.
