Dead - subwoofer?
Hey guys!,
I'm not getting any sound for my subwoofer. I think it's been like that since I bought the car. It's been programmed from the factory with the CCF to enable it but no sound. Are there any other CCF settings that might be wrong and pivi, not recognizing it?

Updated, I pulled out the boot fuse panel, Under F32, for speakers, to find there was no fuse in there. Popped one in a still nothing.

Has it actually been fitted? Some builds post covid missed all sorts of bits off. Eiger Grey MY23 D250 SE with bits. Known as Noddy.

Yeah it's all in there subwoofer wiring. It was odd that there was no fuse though, woke up today. Battery was shot. The parking lights were doing this weird dance all night long. And had to jump start my car. I wonder if somebody pulled the fuse then because there's A short or something causing things to stay on in regards to the subwoofer

Possibly wiring in situ, but not connected up and fuse left out to isolate those circuit(s).

No guarantee it is that, but LR often would fit items, and wiring and put them in situ, but not connected up. Probably before options are customer selected.

Keep the fuse out until fully investigated, it’s far safer for now until you can identify what’s going on there. Thumbs Up No Guts, No Glory.

Even if they were left situ, they still shouldn't have caused a drain like that no? Unless user error and I left parking lights on which I can't imagine I did last night.. battery was flat enough to cause the alarm to go off.

Is there a wire diagram,for the subwoofer, and connection where its suppose to mate to?, I'm pretty sure when I got the car to it was already enabled to have it. I don't remember after playing with the CCFs in Idd

Have you looked under the passenger seat to see if the subwoofer is actually fitted? Slide the seat fully forward, remove the plastic inspection panel from the floor, and the subwoofer is off to one side.

Yup it's definitely there, the subwoofer and the harness, I also ripped off the rear side panel to see if the harness is attached to the amplifier; which it is.
If you guys look at your fuse panel in the boot, do you have a 5amp fuse at f32 it's brown. Aside from this I have to think it's a blown subwoofer..

My thoughts are either
1). Maybe some took out the fuse, for electrical gremlins
2). Maybe it didn't need the fuse from the factory.

There is a permanent live draw there for that to happen, which was complete when the fuse was fitted, unless like you mentioned an accidental load was placed, which is less likely I think.

It’s likely either the head unit was powered if that supplies the sub if it’s low wattage or an external amp, any amp or HU should only be on when the ignition is on.
Possibly, the RMT12v turn on, on it is wired to permanent live when it shouldn’t be.
And the RMT and the live supply is on the same circuit. That would cause the draw you’ve experienced if the Amp or HU was permanently on.

Is there any possibility someone else has been fiddling with it?
If so, they might have wired it wrongly, and simply pulled th Eusebius out rather than sorting it out.

I would imagine it’s a hardwire issue, rather than settings, you really need a wiring schematic in an ideal world. No Guts, No Glory.

It doesn't seem like anyone else has been in there.

My thought process is now then, if someone can confirm if they have a fuse under F32 - with a working sub. that if a similar occurrence happens overnight again, it's an electrical issue and I'll bring it to the dealer; because it's more then just a blown speaker, as you said. Perhaps something faulty from the factory.im sure they'll blame on the IDD CCFs I've done.

If you’ve got a warrantee, then for sure use it as it’s an issue that’s not your fault. Thumbs Up No Guts, No Glory.
