have come off.

VEHICLES AFFECTED

PARTS INFORMATION
Speaker assembly: P/N 39120-SW3-901

CORRECTIVE ACTION
Inspect the speaker(s), and replace them with the
assembly listed under PARTS INFORMATION.

1. Turn on the radio. Use the fader and balance
controls to locate the speaker or speakers that
are causing problems. Also listen to an audio
tape or CD to make sure the problem is not
caused by radio reception.
2. Once you have confirmed that the problem is in a
rear speaker, remove that speaker.
3. Inspect the electrical leads that go from the
connector to the voice coil. The leads and
adhesive should be firmly attached at the voice
coil.
• If either electrical lead has come loose at the
voice coil, or the lead/adhesive is starting to
pull away from the voice coil, replace both rear
speakers.
• If the electrical leads are still firmly connected,
investigate other causes for the problem
(connectors, harnesses, grounding, etc).
