problems with car door speaker

[blackpanda1992]

so i got my door replaced today after someone hit and run my passenger side and upon getting my car back i realized that the door speaker on the new door (they transferred the panel to the new door) is now working at about 1/2 or 1/3 power when the door is OPEN and upon closing the door it stops working completely... any ideas of how i can fix this????

Take off the door panel and check all wires that's the only reasonable answer

Your speaker wire is grounding out in the door boot.

so would this be something i can easily fix?

to be more clear, i can't find anything online about what exactly i would have to do to to fix the apparently broken connection once i take the door panel off.. it's a 95 accord ex...anyone have any xp with such a thing?

just run a new wire from the deck to the speaker , not that hard

have whoever replaced the door fix the problem they most likely created.

Like said before sounds like you might have a bare wire or something down the line and when you shut the door its grounding itself out.

@01limited-even when the door is open (even though the speaker does have output at this point) the speaker is only playing at about 1/3 volume and i know it isn't blown or anything.

@mylows10-any idea of where i could find a video or website that would explain/show me how to run a wire from the deck to the speaker as you speak of? i didn't install the speakers so my understanding of the insides of my car and which wires are which is almost nonexistent. i tried looking everywhere for a description of how to install door speakers on my car and couldn't find anything for the model (94-97)

on my car there is an actual socket in the door that connects to a plug from the deck of the car, so i'm not sure how to work with that
