BEWARE! Check your outdoor speakers!
This morning I started on a simple task this morning (or so I thought) to rewire my back up camera from the factory hot lead to my reverse wire to my running lights wire. That way I can simply turn on my lights to see what is behind me.
I pull both rear lamp housings off of my TC so I can see what is what and low and behold behind one of them is wet wires and WET WOOD! Stomach sank.....
My mind quickly scans over the possibilities. I had replaced the shower skylight last year and did my yearly roof inspection just six months ago.
Then I decided to look at the speakers.....they were sealed nicely to the truck, but each speaker cone was completely torn at the bottom. When I washed the truck last night I am sure a ton of water went in each. God knows how long that as been going on.
These are stock Jensen "marine" speakers. I am removing both and sealing p both openings with a round metal/plastic disc. I never use the outdoor ones anyway as there are better bluetooth speakers available for that.
It is going to be very hard to dry out, but I'll do what I can.
