help troubleshooting no power to rear door speaker

[NoReverseYukon]

I hate electrical trouble-shooting !

I decided to install new speakers and subwoofer in my 2001 XL UQ3 non-Bose. Everything was stock before. I don't think it was working before because my sub was definitely not and i just knew that the sound from the back was less than usual, but now I know there is no power to the drivers side rear door speaker.

Before I go digging thru the wiring, can anyone point me in the most probable culprit?

I'm thinking I would like to work my way back from the speaker terminal. I already stripped some insulation from the wiring about 2" back from the terminal ends and inserted some leads there with no luck.

Now I think my next stop will be the accordion and Molex connector.

If that isn't the problem, at what other points are the speaker wires easily accessible?


I am open to any other trouble-shooting suggestions.

Thanks

Physician, heal thyself !

The schematics are different between '00-'02 & '03-'06 - go figure !

This is how the jumpers must be to get your rear speakers to function.

( I will also go find the thread where I posted my original "fix", and update it so others don't get pissed off like I was )

The only one who rides in the back is my dog, and she didn't complain about no music !
