Antenna and speakers Options

[Gerry]

Hi there
My antenna starting making noise and it would not go down unless you pushed it down, so I unplugged all the connections to the motor on it and got the antenna lead connecting in to the outside antenna and connected it to the body of the car and the radio works fine now and I don't have that huge arial up now BUT went for a drive in the car after doing the job and I noticed that the speaker on the drivers side didn't work(it may not have worked before I went at this I'm not sure) so I took out the radio thinkin it might be a loose connection, put the radio back in and now the back drivers speaker won't work either, the little tweeter will work though. I was just wondering if it would have anything to do with the antenna or what I did with it..Maybe I should have left it to the experts...solve one problem and make myself a bigger..I didn't take out the radio again to see if it is a loose lead, will try it again tomorrow...Any help on this would be great ..Thanks!!
