Ok here's the story.
2 Weeks ago i bought some front speakers for my corsa and had them fitted by halfords. They Worked Fine.
1 week Later i took my car to a garage to have an alarm and a immobiliser fitted.
Half way threw fitting these things the man at the garage rang me up and said that he took the cover off from the bottom of the steering wheel and found a wire that was burnt, He recommened that he removed the wire before something serious could happen. I said fine go ahead.
Next day i get the car back, Turn my car on but the head unit didnt turn on... The man obviosly removed the wire that goes from the stereo to the ignotion.
So the Head unit doesnt turn on when i turn my car on, and it doesnt turn off when i turn the car off. So, i thought Oh Well i cant live with that.
2 days later i get in my car, turn the stereo on and put a cd in. For some reason the music isnt getting to the speakers and no sound is coming out.
But, as i slammed my right door the music come on? Maybe a Loose wire or connection?
So i turned my stereo off and turned it back on.. Same happens again, no music..
So i tried slamming my left door... Nothing happens.. Tried slamming my right door and then the music comes back on again.
So i thought, Hey! i can live with that...
Got into my car the next day, same happens again, so i slam my right door and the music comes on.. But only from the left hand side speaker? The front LEFT speaker and the back LEFT speaker works fine, but the right hand side doesnt come on.
I havnt touched any of the balance options on the stereo so i know for a fact that i havnt set the music to only come out of the left speakers.
Right now im completly confused about what the F**k is happenening, and im tempted to take it back down the garage and demand that they sort it out.
Does anyone know what the hell is happening?

yep a wire is loose and touching the negative of other wire which causes the speaker to shut off
who ever has fit it has bodged it fully as it sounds like not used any terminals and wrapped around the wire
take it back demand a new set of speakers ( reason when cuts off can actuall cause internal damage) and refitting and watch them fit it
then they will do a proper job
hope this helps

if it was working fine before you took it to get the alarm fitted then demanding replacement speakers from halfords isnt
going to solve your problem
generaly, demanding isnt really a way of sorting things out, go to the garage where you had the alarm installed, and find out exactly what he cut, and if hes touched any of the other wiring, and explain what the problem is
