TITLE: Mute Speakers? Check the Speaker Wire Terminals

APPLIES TO: 05 Accord

SERVICE TIP:

Got an '05 Accord in your shop with mute speakers? Open the trunk, and check the speaker wire terminals. If a large object like a suitcase whacks the speaker wires, it can bend the terminals and cause a short circuit. This short overloads the audio unit output circuit, and the audio unit stops sending out the audio signal to some or all of the speakers. Usually, the sound comes back after you fix the short. But if it doesn't, then press on with normal troubleshooting.
