'66 boneville front speaker wiring issue....

[moran75]

Hi All

My front speaker isn't working - or at least there is a very low volume which you can just about hear when the engine isnt running - though the rear speaker/reverb is working fine...

I've checked the wiring ...there is a green wire leading from the speaker to the connector at the rear of the radio, as per the diagram in the owners manual. The speaker also has a brown wire which isn't connected to anything..i'm guessing this may be my problem (though i note brown wire isn't noted in the workshop manual as far as i can see..)

Is this the 'ground' wire? If so what part of the under dash should i connect it to? There is a lot of plastic down there and the wire is only a certain length..

Many thanks in advance

yes it will be the earth/ground
best thing is to extend the wire and attach to dash mounting

best thing is to extend the wire and attach to dash car navigation system mounting

Yes it seems to be earth issue or some loose wire
