Hey everyone, hoping to get a lil info here as I have very little electrical experience. I have a 95 ranger super cab, and it turns out that I have the premium sound option ( I think). All the speakers say premium on the back, and the wiring at the radio is a bit odd.

My front left speaker is not working, although it DOES have power. I've tried swapping it out for other speakers and nothing changed. The wires are Orange/ lt green, and Lt blue/white. When I check behind the radio, there are no wires of these colors. I saw this diagram which leads me to believe that the wires behind the radio colored White/orange, and lt green are the ones that control the left front speaker.


What should I check next? It says there is an amp somewhere but i have n clue where. Thanks

Ps. Also, it seems that that rear left speaker is very weak. It has power and whatnot, and the speaker is brand new. So maybe some type of amp issue???

I will be trying a "new" used radio in the next few days, or whenever I have time. I feel that there is an issue with the amp too, so I found out that its behind the plastic panel behind the passenger jump seat. I will be taking that panel apart to check for any connection errors, and then work from there.

I know that at one point the truck had a PA speaker under the hood, along with a cb radio, so maybe someone messed with the wires under the dash too. Once it stops raining I will be taking a closer look.

Checked for the amp today. It was a pain to get to, but it was behind the passenger seat plastic panel. You can reach it through the speaker hole, but I took off the whole cover to make it easier. Checked all the connections there and everything was good, not split wires or dead ones.
I tried re-grounding the speaker on the drivers side front with an alligator clip and some wire, but still a no go.

I'm now thinking that the stereo itself has something wrong with it, so I ordered a harness to connect another radio I have, and will go from there. Best buy wanted $20 for it, whereas amazon had it for $5...

And they wonder why nobody goes to best buy anymore.

Hopefully the new stereo will fix the issue, and then from there I will decided if I want to upgrade the speakers and headunit.

Update here, tried a new stereo that I had here at the house, WAY too much power with the amp+ the stereo, the thing was kicking hard but with that particualar stereo setup, whenever you change stations you get a nasty loud click.

It Still didn't fix the issue with the front left speaker though, so im now assuming the amp has something wrong with it.

Next step will be too cut out the amp, and either stick with the stock radio and put new wires to the door, use the Jensen headunit that I have here that has 60w per channel and run new speaker wire to the door, or buy a brand new headunit and do the same with new wire. It depends how much cash I have, so we shall see what happens!
