Nissan Murano Speakers Cutting Out
by on Apr.23, 2007, under Matt's Projects
Shortly after getting a used ’04 Murano we noticed the speakers cutting in and out. The problem would occur while playing CD’s and radio. The immediate fix was to smack the side of the radio but a permanent solution was needed. It took several tear downs of the radio to find the issue. Many of the solder joints on the thru hole capacitors did not make it all the way thru the via to the component side of the board. I reflowed all of these connections (see pic) and the intermittent speaker problem cleared up. It is interesting to note that the incomplete solder joints should not have been a problem if the hole plating had been conducting properly.
