Front Left speakers don't work...is there an easy fix?

[c3k]

Folks,

I just realized my nagging dissatisfaction with my audio (Laramie, 2021) is due to the front left speakers not working. Using the fader and balance controls, all the other corners are fine.

I've tried it with 2 streaming services and also the radio...so, it's not the source.

I'm hoping that there's an easy audio reset/reboot that could fix what I hope is a software issue. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Edited to add: I've got the truck shutoff tonight. I'll turn it on tomorrow and see if it resets itself. If not, I'll disconnect the battery. (Old trick, disconnect BOTH leads from the battery and hold them together for ~30 seconds to drain out any stored power.) Shrug...fingers crossed.

I'll write this here for anyone who runs across my previous post.

After sitting in my driveway all night, I turned the truck to ACC, turned on the FM radio...and the front left speakers worked. As did streaming.

So...this is a puzzle. I -do- use a radar detector linked (via bluetooth) to my phone. It gives audio alerts through Android Auto and thus through the truck's audio system. I also use the phone linked through Android Auto.

I'm wondering if some combination of incoming calls/radar threats/auto-muting or something along those lines occurred and that caused the total silencing of the front left speakers.
