See the attached pic. I took out my radio from my '09 HHR SS and then reinstalled it. It is the factory radio and is the non-Pioneer system. The radio connector with the yellow arrow in the pic has circuitry for the rear door speakers. When reinstalling the radio, I found that my rear door speakers stopped working until I jiggle this connector. Is this connector known to be problematic and has anyone come up with a good fix for it?
Update: Thjs is my stupid mistake. Last week, when splicing in wires for aftermarket subwoofers, I was probing the connector for continuity. In the process, I'm 99% I'm mangled the pins in the connector. I have to pull the pins out today and fix them. Has anybody pulls the pins on the radio connector? Is it real hard?
Update. With a little patience and a needle from my wife's sewing kit, I was able to eject the pin terminals from the connector. I then straightened them and reinserted to the connector. Now all the speakers work great! Lesson learned!
