Wierd problem with my ICE I am facing a wierd problem with the ICE in my Spark lately.
Current set up:
HU - Pio 4190
Front - GTO 407
Rears - GTO 947
Issue:
The speakers are not working in the day time and they work perfectly fine in the night (I know its wierd!). If the car is parked in the shade and I drive my car in the morning, the speakers work fine for a few minutes (15 mins or so) after which they start going off intermittently. When I say intermittent, it starts by going off when I break or turn left. It comes back on as soon as I accelerate or turn right. After some time in the sunlight they go off completely. When I start the car well after dayfall it always works perfectly till about 7 AM without any issues. All the while the HU is on and reading CD/USB.
Initially i thought it was some kind of loose contact in the HU end as all four speakers have the issue. Took it to a neighbourhood ICE installer to get that sorted out (The speakers weren't coming on by that time since it had already played the hide n seek with me for a while and gone off). On a closer look the wires were intact. He checked the connections in the speaker end and at the HU end. Later he fiddled around with the wires for a while, trying to trouble shoot by disconnecting the wires to rear speakers and front speakers. At the end no sound what so ever. He didnot have a spare connector to test the HU. His guess was some IC in the HU has gone kaput. I lost patience and asked him to connect all the wires and left.
I turn it back on that night and guess what - the bugger messed up! rear left speaker doesn't work anymore, the front left and rear right speakers have same input and the just front right works.
Has anyone faced similar issues? Gurus - please advise on what might be the issue here. |
