Base model 2010 Nissan Rouge, no Bose upgrade, 130k mi. Fade set to center on head unit.
A couple years ago, the factory front speakers stopped working. I got new speakers, installed them, they worked fine for 6 months or so, then stopped. I figured it wasn't the speakers, since they were pretty new, and tested with some other speakers I had in my side by side with the same result. Figured maybe it was the factory head unit, replaced it with a cheap touch screen with backup camera, everything worked but the front speakers.
It stayed like that for a year or so, until I got tired of only having sound thru the rear speakers. I figured maybe the 6 month old speakers did crap out, and the side by side speakers just weren't compatible with the cars head unit or something. So got new speakers and installed one today, still nothing.
There's an empty fuse slot for the Bose amp, this model doesn't have the Bose system, but I stuck a fuse in there anyhow, nothing. The only part of the system left would be the wiring, but it seems odd that both the FL and FR speakers would have wiring problem at the exact same time. I assume the electricity coming thru those wires is too weak to use your regular "lightbulb in a pokey screwdriver" style power tester, is there a way to use a multimeter?
I'm at a loss, any ideas are greatly appreciated.
