Did my Head Unit die in my 2012?

Hi guys.

Hope I don’t get roasted for not digging more myself, but I’m having serious issues with my sound system in the 2012 Double Cab.

Stock everything... and I’ve got virtually no sound out of anything besides the tweeters. I am a DUMMY when it comes to anything electrical and just truthfully have no idea where to start. The visuals on the STOCK deck all work fine, buttons and controls all work fine... Fades and levels all been played with... but I’ve got nothing coming besides a whisper from the tweeters at dash height.

Where do I start? I’ve ripped the deck out to look behind, and don’t notice much out of the ordinary.

Has anyone gone through this? Maybe a simple dummy fix that I am missing?

Thanks in advance.

 

I'd start by metering all of the speakers. When speakers fail they can go open, or short. If one went short it would probably cause what you are describing.

Have you been in the doors doing stuff?

 

First I would check to make sure the speakers are emitting sound. This will narrow it down to the radio itself. You only need a 9 volt battery and a little wire. What you do is unplug the harness from the radio and insert wires to to the plug a pair at time. Then hook up to the 9 volt battery. If any of the speakers pop, this would indicate that they are working. Do this for all the speakers.

Check out this video. Start about 2:50. around 5:30 is where he uses the 9 volt.

 

Just flash it to the battery. You don't want the cones to push or pull to far and it'll heat the voice coils up quickly....

 

Not sure but that's a kick ass bumper! Good luck

look what the cat dragged in!
