Please retype the above in proper English so we can understand what the fuck you're trying to say. I read it three times and still have no clue what you're looking for.

how do you know it's the wire? Could be the speaker itself, or the source. Anyway, I'd suggest pulling the door panel [search] and testing the wire for continuity from the source (your amp or head unit, depending on what you have) to the speaker.

If it is the wire, you can always run new ones. I replaced all mine when I put in my amp and new speakers.

The front door's the trickiest part though, you have to snake the wire through the rubber gromet/tube between the door and the chassis. You can do it pushing a coathanger through and pulling the wires through with it.

but, i really doubt the problem is the wire itself. It's much more likely its the connection on one of the ends of it. Or, the speaker or amplifier itself.

the speaker works because i tried it on the right side door panel and it came, on but on the drivers side i get nothing thats why I thinks its the wires. And i see small rust spots on the inside of the door panel so water might play a part in it.

Probably already went there, but sometimes its easy to forget the simple things. You check the plug on the back of the head unit and the Balance?

Could try to splice into the wires coming out of the head unit just to check if there is a signal.

^^^ that would be the easyest way to see if your wires are bad. and if thats it pull the whire out theough your door, find the messed up wire and replase it ir repair it. should only take 20 mins.

But, first check that the wire is properly attached to the head unit.

check continuity (sp) on the wire with DVM
