- This 2005 Dodge Ram got a new double din radio along with a backup camera. I also checked all the speaker connections along with replacing the AC controls with new led bulbs.

The red from the camera goes to the red with the radio. The orange reverse wire input goes to the reverse wire of the vehicle so the radio knows when the vehicle is in reverse
Door jam harness broken that's why that rear speaker doesn't work
Well known issue with every Chrysler/Dodge vehicle. Anything older than 10 years speakers, courtesy lights or power locks dont work, and that rubber accordion is where you need to look. Their wires always break. It's like they use the brittlest insulation possible for the wiring harnesses. Ford and Chevy don't have that have that issue.
100% correct. It's a common repair.
@chadjohnson7544 not always, I checked and I still have a ground issue to my door locks😢
@@jlrockafella hmmm interesting. Let me dive into some old documents and get back to you on that.
Thanks for the video, I'm wanting to upgrade so this is helpful
I'm at the beginning of the video. The HVAC light bulbs are easy-peasy. I had to do mine a few years back. A pair of mini needle nose pliers into the small holes. You don't need to take the white plate off to change them. The backup lights are probably something with the aftermarket replacement tail light units.
The backup camera you installed "works now and then"? The job isn't done then and you should be figuring out what you did wrong. The red wire sticking out of the camera cable at each end is what powers the camera and it should be attached to power at the head unit.
The rear door speaker issue is most likely in the door to body harness and you should have run a new set of wires to fix that problem.
You should also be using a better crimp connector. Either "white caps" or the type that crimp and have shrink insulation. It just makes a more professional look and reduces failures.
You're gonna need to step up your game.
Appreciate your comments/opinions. The camera working now and then was from a faulty power or ground cable coming from the reverse harness in the taillight. Which has been fixed. Just because it’s not in the video doesn’t mean I haven’t fixed it. I know exactly what the little red wire is now. I connected it that day of install. Just didn’t mention in video. I asked the customer (after video was filmed and when he came to pick up the truck) if he wanted me to run new wires to fix the speaker. He said no that it’ll be okay and didn’t want to pay me for the extra time/effort for that (also mentioned in another comment). Wire connectors are a personal preference. A certain connector does not make you better or more professional. Sure there are better methods. I used connectors that I already had laying around our shop. Have had zero failures. I do audio work on the side away from my full time job so I am learning new things as I go. I have never claimed to be a “professional”. I love what I do and I’m just a young guy looking to achieve a dream
@@ArdenAutomotive You get paid to do the work, that makes you a professional. It's how professional a reputation you want that separates the shade trees from the bad asses.
Those connectors will probably be fine but probably isn't good enough for the bad assed mechanic or the new guy building a reputation. The ones with crimp and shrink wrap (with sealant) cost a little more but they do a heck of a job in relieving stress on the crimp connection, reducing fatigue at the junction of flexible wire and non flexible crimp, and they seal out corrosion causing moisture. For the slight increase in cost, they're well worth it.
As for leaving things out of your videos, you'll get called on it. I've been doing TH-cam for 10 years. My first channel (I have three now) started with a camera that did video, a digital audio recorder, and a Sony handi cam. I've learned a lot. I upped my A/V gear a bit and picked up some heavy duty editing software.
I still get called out when I leave things out. LOL
Oh, this is the newest account. Slow on the start but when construction begins it should start gathering subs.
Great video sir
Thank you !!! Great video
Great video!! Where did you get the blue lights for the climate control board?
The customer bought them so I have no clue where he got them unfortunately!
I can tell you what the speaker issue was. For some reason the rear left speaker is common to go out due to the harness in the rubber boot on the door. If you remove the boot, you will see where the wires to the speaker will have a break in them due the opening and closing of the door. I had the issue myself.
look at Driver side pass door. the wires from the body to the door break in the harness. notoriuos.
Can you add the link of the parts bought and used in the description? I have the same truck. Thanks!
It will depend what options you have on your truck. Go to crutchfield.com then put in all your truck details that it'll ask for. Then find the same radio or similar radio that you're installing and click on "save on required installation gear" and it'll show you all the parts you need!
Where did you get double din panel that you removed and installed in the plastics for this truck?
Go on Crutchfield and put in your truck info. Then find the radio you have or one of similar size (Single DIN or Double DIN). Click "See the installation gear you need" and it'll bring up any harness or dash kits you'll need
Would the cover plate work with the Laramie Trucks that have the seat heaters and stuff instead of the cubbie?
Yes
Just did this in my sons 2002 dodge ram 1500. The same door speaker didnt work. Ended up being that all the wires in the door jam sleeve were broken. Had to extend the wires and rewire and the speaker lives.
Yep. Those Rams are known for that
The back doors on those trucks at the door jamb from opening and closing the door cuts the wires so you have to pull the wires out reconnect them. It takes 30 minutes per side. You can check to see if the windows roll up and down if they don't the wires are cut and the speakers won't work
The speakers don’t work but the windows do roll up and down. Could it just be the speakers r blow or something else?
My 05 2500, the light doesn't come on when the door is opened, the speaker doesn't work, and the door lock doesn't lock when done from front. Was told to replace the wire harness. Doing that this weekend
Had the same problem with my 04 on the rr door speaker wasent took the lil boot off where all the wires go in to the door as 3 wires were cut one was speaker other to was the door lock silonoid
What did you end up using on in place of the plastic welds that was hold the kit together?
You can either smash them down somehow to make them flat, melt them with a lighter/torch to make them flat or take a little bit of super glue around them and that'll work too
The kit comes with spacers and screws
Use a flathead screwdriver for bulbs
I have a question, what size are these blue leds
I am not sure. The customer provided those bulbs. Sorry!
i get 2 pink cables both have power so what I have to connect? or put both together?? help me please!
Not sure about that one. You should have a red one and yellow one for power. One for constant and one for ignition
I'm guessing that the red wire coming off the video jack close to the head is to be able to put a switch as auxiliary power to turn camera on while not in reverse
Yes. It is the trigger wire to tell the radio you’re in reverse
What’s best place to get a harness for aftermarket double din?
Crutchfield
Thanks buddy
What’s a good budget brand?
Jensen and Boss audio are fairly decent budget brands
Size of the radio?
Double DIN
You were there already you had the truck right in front of you I would've just ran a new wire to the 2 speakers that were not working for the customer and tell him what you Did and most likely you'll have a return customer for life and if he tells one more person to I've worked on a your job well then that's all great.
Why didn't you run a new speaker wire??
Customer didn’t want to pay that much to get the one speaker working
Shouldn’t you rerun the wire then? It is an audio shop no? It’s not mechanics job but if there’s a break in the wire it is probably in the rubber in the door jamb. Best thing is just run new wire through crimp new wire and go to the dash and pull the wire through. Might have to cut tape and zip ties in the door floor panel. Or just run it manually and cut old wire so not to confuse with new wire. But I do believe if the customer wants it’s audio shops job to fix that.
First off I’m not an audio shop. I was doing some audio stuff on the side (installing speakers, radios and subs). I don’t repair things if there’s already a known issue. When this guy came to pick up the truck I asked him if he knew some of the speakers didn’t work and he acknowledged that so I suggested he could bring it to me later to run new wires and I gave him a price for all that (yes expensive price because I don’t want to be responsible if that doesn’t fix the issue then I’m either chasing an issue that I don’t know or have an angry customer because he has to pay me for time and effort but didn’t fix the issue). Sure that may be the wrong way to go about it but I don’t have a shop with unlimited resources and time
Okay your set up looks like a shop is all. But I get it requiring and electrical diagnostic can cost a lot of money. I was just commenting because I thought you were running a legit shop not side job.
@@charles-ih7zp No. I did some audio stuff on the side at the window tint shop I use to work at. I don't do any more audio stuff because of stuff like that.
Are you still in business!!!!????
Sure am!
Where are you located
Its free advertising for your good work as well

You seem like a good dude wanting to do well looking into things and such .
Was the back left speaker already not working do you know and if not I’d check all components before you get started with customer so know blame falls your way because people can really ruin your pockets by taking you or any buddy who does this kinda work to court.
1. Do a run around with paint sure no scratches are noticeable if they are still do walk around with customer and video my friend people love to blame people working on car or their truck.
2. Check all door panels all around any dash part that might be loose or broken before you get going better safe than sorry.
3. Then one last walk around when customer picks the truck or car up once again better to be safe than sorry my friend nice job.
Buddy why I say this not sure if you went over the back speaker with customer or not before you got going always good to know wha your getting into and it’s always good to have videos or written agreements I’m sure you do but it’s also nice having people watching your back.
Good going with your business.
Appreciate the advice! Yes I called the customer after finding out the speaker did not work and he said he knew that. The customer was a close friend so he was understanding.
Bad work, you should have ran a wire to that speaker from the head unit.
Aye
And this folks, is a true hack job. None of the steering wheel sound controls work now, do they? Cheap head unit, cheap speakers. Still running the low power stock amp which only sends bass to the front door speakers. Camera is total hack job. There is purple wire in A pillar pre wired for backup camera. Has to sound truly horrid.
1. Didn't have steering wheel controls to begin with.
2. Customer supplied al the stuff that was installed. Not my choice. Clearly you didn't hear the part where I said the customer installed those speakers and he just wanted me to check his connections. I didn't even install the speakers.
3. I did what I could with the camera that was provided. There's no such thing as a pre-wired backup camera in a 2005 truck where backup cameras were barely even a thing.
4. Like I said previously I didn't buy the radio or speakers or anything in this install. He bought what he wanted installed so I installed. Not my problem that he didn't want to spend the money for a good radio and good sound system
