Driver door speaker not working
Hey Guys,
I've had my 2009 C63 for a couple months. Now that it's getting warm here in NH, it's time to start tackling some small projects. First of which is that my driver door speaker does not work at all. The tweeter works fine though. How would you go about troubleshooting whether this is an issue with the Amplifier, the speaker itself, or the wiring? I pulled the access panel on the inside of the door and I think I may have found the plug where the two sets of speaker wires come in to the door but I'm not sure.
Thanks in advance for your input,
Ben

You could swap speakers with the passenger door, bit of a pain as you have to take both panels off.
I would use a multimeter and measure if there is a signal on the plug going into the speaker probably and check resistance of the speaker itself, it is probably the speaker, seems they go bad here and there.

pull the speaker and test it 1st...
simple multimeter (free w/coupon/purchase at harbor freight) or simple 9-volt battery test as in video (9-volt fine/easy for door spkr - do not recommend for tweeter).
