I have the same sympthoms on my car. No sub, no left rear door sound and no interior ligth on left rear side.
I have a 2001 RR with "H/K sound system". This is in RAVE named: "high line radio".
I have tested the connectors to these units and the purple wire on these connectors have no power. Common for the purple wire on these connectors are that they all come from a splice on the purple wire coming from the
BECM. The purple wire going out off the BECM have power, so i think it is a faulty splice. I have problem finding this splice. The splice is named S362 in the diagrams
Do anyone have a tip where to find this splice. I don`t know if it is in the harnes, in a connector or a specific unit.
I found the splice!!
The splice is inside the wireharnes that lies beneath the plastic door sills on the left side. The splice on the purple wiresplice was green and corroded. Probably from moisture from snow melting and running down under the plasticsill. There are actualy a number of splices here, som of them corroded like the purple wiresplice.
The splice is under the plastic doorsill on the left side rear.
It was discontinued due to corrosion. soldered it up and the subwoofer, doorligth, and leftrear speaker is working.
I also found a couple of other splices that was bad.
Is there a way to test the amp? Does the amp stop driving the speakers if they are blown? Mine seem to not be blown, but the foam is 15-20% gone. All the door speakers work.

The sub amplifier is fed through a purple wire if you put power(+) trough this wire you should hear a "tapp" in the sub. The other speakers are feed throug one set of speaker wires to each door.
Great thread. 96 HSE; I have an issue with my stereo sounding all bass and no treble. I have an aftermarket head unit that was spliced into RCA connectors and stuck into preouts. The red and yellow appears to be partially working, and it's nearly all base. I'm gonna search for this splice and it will likely need cleaning up. I also have a parts rig and I can swap out speaker bundles if need be.
