help with tacoma radio
My speakers stopped producing sound yesterday and after a little investigation, it appears a wire harness came out the back of the radio. I know it used to be there because I saw it in there a few weeks ago when I took the center apart. However, my problem is I have no idea where the wire harness went!! It is no where to be seen! Anyone with '03 Tacomas or anyone that knows where the harness comes from that plugs into the left side of the radio if you are looking from at the back of it. It is a white harness, it is no the blue ones. I looked for a while and dont know where it could have gotten pulled or fallen down to! Thanks!

2003= take it to the dealer under warranty. That's what you have it for. Let them do the hunting & fixing for FREE.

my double cab used to do the same thing ... but it only stopped producing sound when i had more than 5 people in the truck ... didnt make sense. when there was only 5 people it worked fine, and it always does that.

The thing is though, I am pretty sure I have located the problem. The only thing is, I have no idea where the speaker connector went! It doesnt make any sense at all. The white connector is no where at all when I pull the radio out and look behind! If anyone has or can remove the center area (its really easy) and tell me where their wire harness comes out from, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

Don't have an '03 Tacoma, but if Toyota still puts the factory amps in them(i'm guessing they do), just locate the amp and the harness should come straight from it. On 3rd gen 4Runners the amp is right behind the radio deck.
Good Luck...hope this helps.

You sure you're just not hearing it because you got so many people?
Maybe the added weight? Find some heavier friends and load 4 of them in

okay i found out what is wrong. there is a loose wiring harness somewhere that deals with the speakers. since i already voided the warranty on the sound system, I am going to find and fix the loose wire(s) by myself. thanks anyways.
