Dash Speakers Have Almost Zero Volume

[CRAIG4FSU]

Corner speakers are Infinity. Center speaker is stock. About two weeks ago I noticed the front end of my Big Horn had very little volume where before those speakers played a huge part in filling up the cab. Tried the fader and it’s very quiet when push all the way forward.

I’m not big on electronics, but I doubt all 3 would fail at once. Is there a channel on the amp that might have gone bad or…?

Thanks for any help.

Well, today leaving work I noticed the TPMS error light didn’t come on at all. Then I noticed the dash speakers were working. I pushed the fader all the way forward and sure enough, VOLUME.

Weird.

You hadn't mentioned the TPMS error before. You think the volume and tire pressure monitor are somehow related?

No clue. These trucks have gremlins. Yesterday, the usual 3-4 miles down the road after startup the TPMS light came on. I checked the dash speakers and they were on.

Maybe disconnect the battery for a good 20-30 minutes. These things are big computers now days and that would reset everything. Don't freak when everything doesn't come back right away. Can take hours, up to overnight. It's the first thing I do since it resets and free.

The procedure goes like this:

1. Park your truck outside so the shark fin has a clear view of the sky and turn it off. Have your 10mm open end wrench in your pocket.
2. Pop your hood open and get out and close your doors.
3. Disconnect the negative terminal of your battery and leave it disconnected for 30 minutes. Leave the truck alone during this time.
4. Reconnect the negative terminal and again LEAVE THE TRUCK ALONE for 1 hour. Do not open the doors, nothing.
5. After the hour expires get back in and treat it as normal. All your screens should be back to normal and the re-init is complete.

The only thing I lose when I do this is the theme settings. The dash colors and fonts go back to the default for me. Everything else remains, like Sirius presets, phone pairings, and all your other custom settings you have made.

Maybe it will make a difference for you.
