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

I went ahead and changed out my TRD Sport Grille for a YotaVerse Replica TRD Pro Grille! It fully changed the way the truck looks. It makes the front end look completely different. Upgrading the grille on your Tacoma is a major plus. Not only does it elevate the truck’s appearance and make it stand out from the crowd, it helps with visibility because of the light bar that is included! Whether you're looking to personalize your ride, improve its performance, or simply add an extra bit of lighting for off-roading, an upgraded grille is one of the best investments you can make. Plus, it’s an easy upgrade that completely changes the front end appearance as well as performance. I 100% recommend getting the TRD Pro Grille over the OEM Grille any day! I chose the grille with the raptor lights & light bar for off-roading purposes and helping with visibility when I am not on the pavement. It takes approximately 1-2 hours to change out the grille, with basic tools needed and it is a simple 1 person job. Tools needed - Phillips head and flat head screwdriver, 10mm, and trim pry tool.

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.
