HELP! I changed a speaker while the car was running and now I hear nothing! - Toyota Yaris Forums

I had a similar problem when I put new speakers in. It was a short somewhere, but I never figured out where. I just got pissed and redid all the connections to all the speakers. One short on one speaker cause the head unit to stop sending out the audio to all speakers, some safety feature thing. It would still come on but I couldn't hear anything until the short got fixed. Disconnect all the speakers and reconnect them better than you had before. If you had to cut any wires anywhere try to cutting your connections again and giving them more length to contact each other. If you just twisted them together you might want to try soldering them together or using wire nuts and electrical tape to make sure they come off. And check all your fuses in the fuse box! It's quick and easy to just look and see if one blew.
