I balanced out the radio settings but my back speakers still aren't working. As for checking all the wiring..I dont know how to do that..but I really appreciate All the help...thanks fruitloop

Answer 1

First thing you need to do is see if the balance is just set correctly on your new receiver, so get the manual and check and make sure your balancer (left, right, front, back) is set properly.

Wiring wise, I doubt you have a missing wire, but what you will need to do is pull the receiver out and make sure all of the wires match up. Your typical Toyota Camry wiring is like this:

Right Front Speaker (+) - Green
Left Front Speaker (+) - Pink
Right Front Speaker (-) - Blue
Left Front Speaker (-) - Purple
Right Rear Speaker (+) - Red
Left Rear Speaker (+) - Black
Right Rear Speaker (-) - White
Left Rear Speaker (-) - Yellow

And your typical new receiver wiring harness has this color scheme:

Right Front Speaker (+) - Gray
Left Front Speaker (+) - White
Right Front Speaker (-) - Gray w/ Black Stripe
Left Front Speaker (-) - White w/ Black Stripe
Right Rear Speaker (+) - Purple
Left Rear Speaker (+) - Green
Right Rear Speaker (-) - Purple w/ Black Stripe
Left Rear Speaker (-) - Green w/ Black Stripe

So all you need to do is make sure each wire from your Camry matches up with the new wires from the receiver and you should be good to go! Here's an example:

Camry's wiring "Right Front Speaker (+) - Green" matches up with new receiver's wiring "Right Front Speaker (+) - Gray". So you should have the a Green wire connecting with the receiver's Gray wire.

And just go down the list and make sure each wire corresponds with the new wiring on the receiver.

If that all checks out, you should go back to the "Professional" and make them fix it.

Hope that helps!

EDIT: You might also want to check the wire connection on the back of the speakers, they (the installer) might have disconnected them for whatever reason and didn't reconnect them. So you might want to pop your head in your trunk and take a look and make sure they are wired up.

Answer 2

Are you sure your radio is missing something? Sometimes all you have to do is fiddle with the dials on stereo to switch speakers from front to back or all four at once....check your car's manual to look for the speaker dial. If it really is the stereo, it sounds like they need to repair it for free...

that's accessible that the TCS (temperature administration sensor) is undesirable. Or it may additionally be your heater center it quite is plugged. you may unplug it once you're slightly a mechanic . purely unplug the heater center hoses placed on the firewall on the back of the engine . those that pass into the vehicle's interior. Run some water into the hoses with a splash stress. you will see the water popping out on the different hose. run it until it comes out clean. For the sensor you may desire to test the engine for a code. you're able to try this for unfastened at many vehicle areas shops jointly with Kragen's or Autozone. If it replaced into the water pump or Thermostat your engine could overheat. i think of this is the heater center or TCS.
