This is my plan if I have to run new wire. After locating the 2 wires on the harness that need replaced, I will cut them, and tie a string to them. Then I will pull them out through the door. I will then untie the string from the old wires, retie it to the new ones and pull the string from the head unit compartment that way the new wire will take the same path as the old wire and I don't have to tear everything open. Then when I get the new wire to the harness I will just solder the new wires to where I cut the old wires at. Problem solved.

I had the same lock cylinder problem on my 98 Sport, along with some of the doors wouldn't lock or unlock with the power lock switch. I took my door panels off, greased up all the latches and locks, and worked everything loose. Then put the cylinders back in and panels on, all works great now.


My door speakers work good, but my passenger rear (roof) speaker doesn't work, so I'll have to look into what's wrong with it sometime (I got a lot of higher priorities before it though lol).

X2 the door panels are just a few screws then platic tabs so just be careful when you pull of the door not to break the tabs.

I had the same prob on the same side. The two crimp connections to the speaker itself were loose. I only had to pinch them tighter and reconnect them. Problem solved.

Did your new speakers come with covers? if they did you can cuz there bigger and stock juat make sure you dont cut the wires and find places to put the new screws in the new ones and you be fine.

I just did mine this summer. Passengers side is easy to replace the whole wire because the splitter is right behind the kick plate. On the drivers side I just fixed the broken wire in the door jam.

How did you get the cover off of the door jam?

Ok so for whoever asked, this is how you remove the door panel:

First remove all the screws. There are 5.

Then take a flat head screwdriver and slide it in between the door panel and the door. When you feel the screwdriver hit something, pry up on the panel and the rivet should pop out. Continue to do this around the whole door panel except for the top.

Once they are all removed, lift up on the door panel. When that comes free, unplug the 2 blue wire harnesses.

Then you will see 2 metal rods hooked to the panel. To remove these you must push the colored plastic piece away form the panel, towards the door. Once this is done, push down to free the top rod, and up to free the bottom rod.

And thats it. As they say, do the reverse to put it back on.

The second pic shows what the rivet looks like. And the bottom pic shows the 2 blue wire harnesses and the two metal rods.

Hope this helped.

I had the same problem when I bought mine. I took off the panel and there was about 6 inches of wire leaving the speaker and it stopped. I took out the radio and there was an empty spot for a wire, the brown wire that is supposed to go to the drivers door speaker was no where to be found. Crystler must have just left it out to follow suit with the other stupid things they do.

Sorry for being dumb, but I tried for 5 minutes to move those clips as described and no joy. I am really hesitant to use a tool as the triangle part on the handle is plastic and I don't want to break anything.
