Right side speakers dont work.
I have a stock Delco Radio Part # 16161615 and both the front and rear Right side speakers dont work anymore. Did the right side Channel system blow in the radio unit? If so can a radio shop refurbish the radio to make it work properly again?

Yes. When I play the radio the right side sometimes gets static. I switched the rear speakers and it works so its not the speaker. Its either the right side Channel to the radio or both right side wires. I was hoping someone on here had a similar problem and fixed it

Re: Right side speakers dont work.
If you can disconnect the wire to the speaker from the radio, then hook up a AA battery..
Listen to hear a "click".... Be sure it's quiet surroundings, because if the speakers have a cap for crossover, it may only slick once, then real quietly...
If it makes noise, your wires are good.
Other problem with older radios... Also, if it makes a lot of noise when you turn up / down volume.... Dirt gets in the contacts for the volume, balance...
Radio Shack sells tuner cleaner spray... works great if that is the problem...

Re: Right side speakers dont work.
My car has the same problem but with both rear speakers. Me and my friend took out the radio and found out tht there is a short in the harness tht hooks up to the stereo. If u look it up u can buy them for like 10 bucks I just decided to replace my radio because it didn't hav an aux cord hook up

So it sounds like it could be dirty contacts and/or bad wire to the harness. Will inspect and let you know.

Re: Right side speakers dont work.
Check this plug,it's behind the radio.

For some reason one of the 3 plugs became loose and I lost my left side front speaker.Apparently their is a plug for each side,I have 3 because I have the UQ7 Sound System.
