2007 GMC Sierra door speaker problems

[andyh269]

Hello all,
My name is Andy from Virginia & I have just joined this forum site. I have a 2007 GMC Sierra SLE. recently, my driver door speaker has found a mind of it's own. Sometimes it will be working fine and other days it will not be playing at all. I have also recently discovered that the driver side rear window button on my driver door (where all 4 window buttons are) does not work either. You can raise & lower the window from the rear door button, but like the speaker ... from the front door, sometimes it will work & sometimes it won't.

I guess my first question, should I pop off the panel to see if there is any visable problem ? I sure would like to find the problem there. I would hate to start thinking of the cost involved with replacing the head unit or some far reaching electrical problem !!! I was also thinking that every now & then when I smoke in my truck and crack the window & it's raining, sometimes water will drip and fall onto the whole panel where the 4 window buttons are. I was thinking maybe something shorted out.

Anyone have any advise to share. Anything would be great. Thanks in advance for any replies.

pos wires between door and piller breaking from opening and closing door.

You could have blown a fuse, but since it works sometimes, and not other times, it could also be as simple as a loose wire. I dont think you would be able to see a visible problem if you took the door panel off, but it wouldn't hurt to check - they aren't very difficult to remove. I would suggest you take it to the dealer, or any other local garage for some insight.

Since it works sometimes, and not others, it could be as simple as a loose wire. For the window problem, the switch might just be getting bad as well.
