Oddly enough, mine started to work again last week. Then they went out again. Then they started working again yesterday. I know they'll go out again, but I'm going to enjoy listening to CDs again as long as this lasts! I have no idea why the left speakers would cut out (only for CDs), then start working again, then cut out again, then start working again. I think somebody must have been killed by being thrown into the machinery at the Clarion factory, so all of the 02/03 "Bose" head units are possessed.
