Ok, it seems like my driver side speakers have stopped working..I've tried everything from disconnecting the battery to checking the wires under the seat nothing works... even the nav voice is very low...???? Whats next??? Truck is a 2019 with 54,000 miles
 
Is your phone and/or cable connected when this happens?
 
ok, Dealer said the ANC module is blown on the left side...i replaced it and it i still have no speakers on the drivers side...
 
I have a similar issue. My driver’s side door and dash speaker will work on occasion (getting more and more rare that they do work). Mine is a 2019 that JUST crossed the 36k mark. I know the speaker isn’t blown because it sounds fine when it does work. This happens no matter the source (phone, radio, Sirius, etc).

Because of this, nav thru CarPlay will not work at all, meaning I pretty much have to keep my eyes OFF the road to figure out where I’m going. I bought this truck CPO not even 3 months ago (free Sirius is still active).

Because I drive a lot for work, I’ve already eliminated the CPO warranty, so it looks like I’m pretty much screwed unless anyone has any ideas.

Usually it seems to work after I do a soft reset, but only for one good drive before it’s out again for longer than it worked. And yes I’ve used the balance fade screen to test and when I move the indicator toward the front drivers side I just get no sound at all no matter the volume.

Did you ever find a fix for this. I'm having the same issue.
 
2019 Ram 1500 - same issue. Driver side speaker is out. A radio guy said it could be the full stereo needing replacement - Dodge quoted me "at least a grand." So, I'm just turning it up...
 
The key here is figuring out whether it is the head unit, the ANC, or the speakers. Unlikely to be the speakers if it is both door & dash that are out.
An ANC Bypass would help with testing - hook it up and test for audio with some other speakers (house bookshelf speakers, whatever) - if this works it's your ANC. If there's no joy then it is your head unit.
All of this assumes a Base 6, not Alpine system. Testing the Alpine system would be a little different since the ANC is signal processor and amplifier both, making it a more likely culprit.
 
Anyone else find an answer? I am having this issue with my 2019 Bighorn. Tried the ANC bypass modules, replaced front left dash speaker and nothing is working. I've taken off the radio and it all looks normal behind it.. It is driving me nuts trying to figure it out.
 
anything is possible. new factory radio's shut down a channel if they see low impedance like a blown speaker with the "base" radio the dash and the front door are on the same channel. it has 6 speakers but the standard FR-FL-RR-RL so only really 4 channels. if the dash or the door is blown the channel should shut off to protect the radio. you kinda need to know what you are doing and have some tools and a multimeter.

The dash and door are on the same channel? My driver side front door speaker is not working, but the dash speaker is fine - well, as fine as a tiny speaker can be.
I just wanted to figure out what I needed to take apart first.
Fortunately, I've got a pair of Alpine 6" speakers still in the box. Hope they'll fit. Obviously I need to poke around a bit.

i promise you with the base radio they are on the same channel if you have alpine ,hk or any premium system they are not. if it's a base radio and the door is not working it's blown or has a wire issue. the door speakers are 6x9's. a 6in will only work with a adaptor
 
Any updates? Same issue on my 2019 2500 lonestar. Both driver side door speakers dont work. Dash speakers and passenger side speakers work. For some reason my radio wont let me reset it, but looking for answers before I start tearing stuff apart. Seems like it could be the radio itself, ANC module, or speakers themselves?
 
Anybody find anything on this? I have an ANC bypass installed and no output to FL. All other 3 channels have output. When I tested with a multimeter, all 3 good channels are putting out the correct ohm reading at the ANC bypass, whereas the FL shows 0. Any ideas?
 
0 or O.L?
O.L is open lead and 0 is shorted as in probably blown. remove the dash speaker and test that speaker. if it's blown even if it's not i recommend a GREAT economical replacement. pioneer makes a line of products specifically for walmart that are cheaper than regular stuff but they are actually the exact same products with cosmetic differences
these are the same

Pioneer TS-351M + Pioneer TS-A879​

walmart has them for 40 bucks they sound GREAT

Pioneer TS-351M​

I just replaced the front dash speakers, and front door speakers, but to make sure, I tested the speakers themselves and they both tested to 4ohms (what they are rated at). It's once I get to the ANC plug and then right by connector XY331A where I lose the reading.

I am trying to figure out if the radio module is blown for my Front Left channel or if there is a short somewhere in the wiring that I can't see.

*I should also say that the speakers I am using are the Kicker CS series*

Thanks,

4ohm is correct, i would and you already may have taken the speaker readings on the plugs going out to the speakers on the anc bypass harness if they all read 4 then it's possible you do indeed have a bad module.
unfortunately the DT ram with any 8.4 can't simply be replaced with a aftermarket radio you have to put another factory module in and even the standard 8.4 is stupid expensive for what it is imo
