Both rear speakers not working?

[Kyle Everett]

Hi all. I have a 2018 seat leon fr and both of my rear door speakers don't work. Obd11 says open/short circuit. Is this saying to you both rear speakers are dead. Find it odd both rear speakers don't work. I have an output of 7v from the connector so don't think it's a fuse, can't find the rear door fuse anyway. But I can't find on the head unit a fader to set volume only to come out from the rear to test which I find is weird. Has anybody had a similar issue and been resolved ??? Tia

There is a 'sound' setting menu within the car menu - where there is a fader front/back/left/right.
First I would check it's not faded to the front?

I was thinking the same, just wondering if it would show the open/short circuit error?

i've no specific knowledge of your system, but you will often find that internally, both rear channels will be generated from the same part of the circuit board. It's possible that the wiring or one of the speakers has a short circuit, so the amplifier has to disable both channels to protect itself, rather than just the one that is shorted. Hope that makes sense. The most likely place for a short is where the wiring passes from the car into the door. The wires can rub against each other or the metal of the door.

I've been having issues with mine.
I have a sub fitted and the signal comes from the rear speakers, however the speakers don't work but the sub still does.
A few years ago I cleaned my car and a lot of water got in through the window seal and onto the speaker wiring, I haven't had chance to investigate this time. Might be worth a check on yours, if you take the door card off you can easily feel inside the door for any water.

Strange, mine has something like this with left/right/front/rear arrows which moves the circle - and the sound:

Thank-you, I've had a look and the only option i get is sound in genrel like key tone etc. Equaliser and balance of front left and right. But Thank-you anyway

I also have the same problem. Not sound from rear speakers or tweeters. I have a 3dr though ?

Obd monitors the speaker cabling?

If you disconnect a speaker and do a scan it will show a fault, as does VCDS.
Before I fitted my Seat Sound it showed speaker faults because the unit was already loaded with SS parameters etc.

Have the same issue, no fader just balance...and no sound from backspeakers

Hi Kyle, did you ever find a solution to this issue? I’m buying a 2016 Leon ST FR tdi that has the same issue, no sound from the rear speakers and no fader option in the sound menu.
