Harman Kardon Speaker Help

Hey guys, my rear drivers side door doesn't have audio anymore, one of the clips broke for the tweeter and i guess short circuited the line to the door. I have the replacement tweeter but the speaker doesn't get any audio anymore. The speaker works fine as i swapped it in another door and it played music right away. Something is up with the power line for that door.

I'm getting this error code 031d23 Loudspeaker output lines, rear left: Short to positive.

any help would be appreciated.

The RAM left rear output is busted, most probably requires a new RAM.

Are there multiple modules, or only 1? I can try and take a look at the module to see if there are any signs of damage.

Check for damage to the mid as well, it may be causing the short.

Thanks for the picture, ill look into it. I tried both the speaker and tweeter on the passenger side door and they worked fine, just no audio on the drivers side rear. It's getting about 3 volts to the wires not sure if that's a good thing or bad. Every other speaker is fine, i only noticed that speaker had no audio when i sat in the back.

So I took apart the trunk and got to the ram module, it seems fine I’m not sure. Still have that same error code short to positive.

You need to get a digital volt ohm meter and trace down where the short is.
