to trace it... you need to... trace it... pull out the radio and make sure the wires are connected securely... as in soldered/heatshrinked or taped together... or connected with butt connectors... check in the door and make sure that the wires are not grounded out *touching metal*

Thank u .. will doo sir...

ohhh one other question... if there was grounding can it cause static in yr speakers... coz that was the reason y i changed the stock ones.....it was causing a lot of static on both front speakers....

Thanks in advance.....

if you run new wires 14-16 gauge speaker wire will be fine... and run it through the rubber door grommets into the car... don't go outside the door and acround the door jams like i see people do around here all the time
