[QUOTE="naiku, post: 1914809, member: 563468"] Ok, now I am getting REALLY fed up with this. I had a 4 day weekend so decided to find time to check out all my connections fully. Disconnected and re-crimped every connection, still no right channel. So I gave up and went out and bought an LOC (and while I was out some RCA Y-cables). Back home and I decided to check one more time with the MP3 player that all speakers worked, so I hooked up all 4 speakers, used the RCA Y-cables and my MP3 player and got sound out of every speaker. Next I went ahead to install the LOC, since I already had speaker cable running to the amp (from the speaker level inputs) I decided to use these for my LOC (if I got interferance using these cables I had planned to relocate the LOC to the back of the HU). Everything connected no problems to the rear speaker cables, switched on the HU (first thing I notice is how much better the sound is with an LOC instead of speaker level inputs) and the 2nd thing I notice is STILL NO RIGHT CHANNEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I begin to think maybe it is a problem with my rear speakers (the wire colors I have are different to 99% of diagrams I found on the internet) but they work when using the MP3 player, so I am sure I have the right cables. However, to eliminate this variable I decide to hook the LOC up to the front speaker cables, STILL NO RIGHT CHANNEL. If I switch the left and right RCA's the sound moves from left to right, but no matter which way I wire it I STILL GET NO RIGHT CHANNEL. So I know my speakers all work, I know all channels on my amp worked, I am 99.99% sure that the balance all worked on my HU before starting this, I know it's not my RCA cable as I get the same problem using speaker level inputs. And so here I am on Wednesday morning with still only half my speakers working, and fast running out of idea's as to what I can check. The 1 single thing I just now thought of is that maybe my + and - are wrong coming into the LOC on the right side, but I find it hard to believe (although still possible) that I managed to get both front and rear on the right side mixed up on the input (LOC/Speaker level) side of things, but that the output (going to speaker from amp) would be correct. I heard that some Ford's come with a factory amplifier, could this be causing the problem I have? As far as I was aware I don't have the factory amp, and it's weird that it would cause only the right channel to not work. F**k I am really confused with this, any help now even more appreciated than before. I need an expert!!!! Thanks. [/QUOTE]
