Freaky Radio Issue...Help!! `89 245 200

ALRIGHTY THEN!!

Back in business. I rewired the front door speakers and without having to mess with the door panels at all.

It was a real peace of cake to pull the new wires through by taping them to the old ones. This was only possible after pulling the outboard kick panels for each side, then peeling back the black material that hides the cavity access. The wires are held in place with a plastic card/fork of sorts. Once I pulled this retainer out, drawing the wires into the footwell from the door was a breeze.

Oh yeah, on the driver's side I had to remove the two screws holding the fuse panel in place and swing it to the side. I did this after disconnecting the battery of course.

The original speaker wires had bit the dust both failing in the area of the door hinge. I'm much better off now with the 16 Gauge Monster Cable that I had no other use for. One continuous run from each speaker to the deck. Unlike the original setup with two sections of wire for each.

Now if I can just figure out a good place in the wagon to mount my two MB Quart DKD 6.5" speakers that I still need to pull from the 244. :)

Thanks once again for the advice.
