Rewiring radio/speakers/power, etc
Hi everyone,
Name is Jason and I am new here. Found this site looking for a guide to rewire my stereo system for my '03 Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi 5.7L 4 Door SLT.
I have a problem where my speakers on the passenger side (front and rear door) are putting a tiny bit of sound out and, it sounds as if you are on the phone and put the phone down and someone is talking, that's how low it is. I have tried switching the wires around and did not have any luck, I tried different speakers and same issues. They did work for a little while like they were supposed to then one day they didn't. Do y'all know anything that could be wrong with that?
What I am looking for right now is to buy the correct color wires for my truck, mainly the speakers. Does anyone know where I could buy those at? I want to rewire the stereo systems the exact way it is supposed to be.
Thanks y'all
Happy Thanksgiving!

I figured out the problem on the front passenger side, one of the wires needed to be re-soldered so that is now fixed. The passenger rear speaker I cannot see what the problem is. Wires are connected and I tried switching wires but still not working correctly, tried a different speaker with same results.
Jason,
Often on these trucks, the wire passing from the frame into the door at flex connection break due to fatigue. You might start there. The door panels are easily removed, and allow fairly easy access into this area. Once you have the boot pulled back and the harness exposed, you'll usually be able to flex the wire and find where its broken
