Ok... so I've never had this issue.

2004 350z Touring with Bose.

Everything worked fine, never had this issue. Then all the sudden this happened

I think I had to break suddenly or something (nothing crazy just car hopped in front of me), and my passenger side speakers went out. All of em. I mean only the left(driver) side was playing... Then I accelerated, and while shifting it kicked back on again. Then I hit like a minor bump in road, it went out again.

Since then, it goes off when I'm breaking sometimes, or when I accelerate too fast, and sometimes comes back on 10 secs later when breaking again, sometimes doesn't for like an hour... Any idea wtf could be wrong or where should I start?

 

its the actual head unit...


i have had the same issue, and there are other threads on this issue...the fix was replacing the head unit for another one.

I would hit mine on the side, by the knew pad and it would start working again.

that piece of ****. I kinda thought it was the head unit :/

 

Is there a way to fix it? Is it like a wiring issue or something inside? Lol thats kinda really stupid :/ I was going to buy a new good head unit, just not yet.. Kinda not sure what to get thats good bang for money.

 

I had basically the same problem last week. In a nutshell, what happened was the gray speaker wire that plugs into the back of the dash was most likely rattled loose. The gray speaker wire controls the right side door speakers. I would take out the dash and make sure that the gray speaker wire is plugged into the harness and dash correctly. Solved the problem for me.

Ok guys its a problem with the ribbon cable between the CD changer and the Head unit, there is a DIY somewhere if you know how to solder and if your not afraid of taking apart your HU.
I had the same problem with mine so i just used it as an opportunity to buy a new deck.
I hope this helps you out

 

Here is the DIY method

Oh and I forgot to mention it can happen on either side of the car, on mine it was the drivers side and on some others it is the passengers side.
The only problem i have heard about the diy is that the head unit screws holding it together are in so tight they are nearly impossible to remove.

 

Ha nice thanks a bunch guys ))) looks like I got an excuse to ditch my GF today hahaha

 

does anyone know, is this applicable to '06 models with the Bose upgrade package(forget what they call it)?
