so, i just installed a new oem xm receiver and am not getting any audio on the right speakers on any xm stations. cd's, fm/am work fine though. i double checked the connections (antenna, ground, bus cable?) and reseated them but the problem is still there. anyone else have this problem? tips/suggestions are appreciated.

 

A pin backed out of one of the connectors? That or the Sat receiver is having a bad day. Wiring issue in the Sat harness. All could cause you to lose a channel. I don't envy finding that problem.

 

yea, i really have no idea... i'm kinda worried if it's a problem with the receiver because i bought it from an individual so i doubt i can return/exchange it. i just hope it's an easy fix =/

 

i'm pretty much out of ideas here guys. i picked up another antenna from circuit city since that would be an easy thing to test and it didn't make a difference. i also pulled out the receiver to make sure that there wasn't any sort of obstruction or bent pins, and everything looked good. the bus link cable also looked fine. any other ideas?

 

Try testing the pins on the harness by using a line level audio source.. that way you will know if its the sat box or your car. This is not a fun problem good luck

 

Sin4me, Please keep us informed, since I just ordered XM radio for my car.

 

Uhm, forgive my ignorance, but how would i test "the pins on the harness by using a line level audio source"?
