Hello,

2002 Diamante ES, original sound system.
The stereo comes on and both radio and cd functions, but there is absolutely no sound from the speakers.

I have checked fuses and it looks good, and the stereo is working so.. Unless there is a separate fuse for the amp or speakers?

I read that one faulty speaker/wire can cause the system to mute, could that be the case? If so what is the best way to troubleshoot this? I have a multimeter and could measure the resistance in the wires but I'm not looking forward to stripping down the doors to get to the speakers. I would also need a diagram for which pins on the connector go to which speaker.

Would it work to just disconnect one speaker at a time, or would that not help if its the wire that is damaged?

I also wonder where the amplifier is located? I heard under the passanger seat or in the trunk but I would appreciate a more detailed location. Thought I could take a look at the amp too and see if there is any problems. What should I look for?

Thanks in advance, all tips are very welcome.
