No Sound After Speaker Upgrade: Suspecting Short From Dash Pillar Speaker Installation

Hey, Wanted to quickly share some of the options we carry for the 4th Gen Tacoma. Our whole concept is building systems that are tailored fit, rapidly removable (so you can use your truck on the daily more easily), while allowing for uninterrupted gear storage. So, we've built a solid ecosystem of products to support the 4th Gen Tacoma. They're strong (lots of load capacity) and built to last, being made from either birch or bamboo. They also happen to be relatively lightweight for this category. We offer short and long bed options. They pair best with a camper or topper, but many of our customers enjoy sleeping out under the stars, too! https://bambeds.com/ This first shot is just one example of how our products can be used. We offer three different options for the new Tacoma.... Find all our options on the 4th Gen Tacoma product page - https://bambeds.com/collections/4th-gen-tacoma 1. The Original BamBed Our first production platform! This three-piece design tucks neatly into the bed and is supported entirely by the raised edges. The platforms can stack for easier transport. There is also an optional extension piece for even more length. 2. New Solo/Full Platform Our latest product, the Solo/Full system! This system offers greater stability and increased modularity. It has four main top plates and two support legs. You can run it either as a "full" system or in "solo" mode, in which case you only use the passenger's side boards. Perfect for carrying larger boxes or items like bikes without interfering, with ample room for storage. 3. Sliders Our take on a drawer systems are the Sliders. We make them for all our platforms. They tuck neatly into all corners of the bed and are easy to pull out, even with loaded with gear! If you're looking for even more utility from your setup, this is it. Let us know if you have any questions! You can also email us at... support@bambeds.com

I must have a short in my one-dash pillar speaker when replacing the factory premium JBL speakers because I recently lost all sound inside my truck the other day. Music, tones, everything.

I don't know if it's safe to cut the factory harness off and direct wire to the new dash speaker. I guess what I'd do is retrace my steps. If I could, I'd probably figure out what I did wrong and check all my fuses.

Also, someone advised that I need to disconnect the battery before doing any electrical work next time, which I completely forgot about.
