    Stereo doesnt work on left side of my truck when using aux input. Want to replace, but replacement is $90!?!? Have seen direct replacement charging inputs for like 11 bucks on Amazon... Does anyone have a lead on a cheap replacement?

    Do a search on YouTube. Plenty of videos showing how to repair that AUX jack. Very common problem.

    I first tried the index card fix on my Aux Jack, then the solder trick. Neither one fixed the problem of intermittent signal loss to the HU.
    So I ponied up $60 for the OEM part on Amazon and now I have a working Aux Input.

    You could have used one of those FM transmitters too. Won't sound as good as an Aux, but they are fairly cheap.
