    Hey there. I bought my car from the previous owner and noticed that the rear audio was not working. Randomly I gave my sister a ride one day and it started working, and then it stopped after I turned the car off and started it again later. I figured that there was maybe a bend or a bad connection in the wiring. I opened the trunk and I couldn't see anything wrong with the wiring. Today I gave a couple friends a ride and I noticed that the back speakers started working again. I was thinking that maybe its because someone was sitting in the back seat or because there was more weight on that side that it made the wire connection complete. Today I had some free time so I took the back seat out and the speaker panel. I turned the car on and the back speakers were working. I'm not sure if the panel was seated so as to cut the connection in the wiring because I did not see anything that looked bad or damaged. I was hoping that someone on here may have had a similar problem and might just know exactly what it is. I don't believe its a problem with the speakers themselves because they sound fine, although I have not gone so far as to test different speakers on the wiring. I also took the dash off and checked the stock CD player wiring to see if maybe there was a loose wire.

    Again, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Update: I followed most of the wires, I didn't see any bare ground wire, so I don't think its that. I also don't think its a connection problem because I think I'd hear some distortion before they go out, or on, and thats not the case. So i'm thinking maybe its the Factory deck, might just get an aftermarket one and install it, anyone have thoughts?
