Check the fuses? 22 powers all for speakers so how could it affect that one speaker?

That channel on your HU could have died, or there could be a short or breakage in the wire somewhere.

If there is no power to the speaker, then the channel in the head unit is not the problem. Since all speakers get power from the same fuse, it is not a fuse.

If 12 volts is not on the red wire at the speaker (pin 5), then it is a wiring problem.

Check wire continuity from the audio amp relay to the speaker connector. The relay is located on the passenger side of the car, behind the kick panel that is in front of the door.

Yeah I was going to tell him to whip out the multimeter and start tracing wires looking for bad grounds, or shorts on the positive wires. But you beat me to it Denis
I must say that you are very knowledgeable and always give correct info.

Have to disagree with you, clive. The relay sends power to 4 speakers. 3 of the speakers are getting the power. If the relay was bad, none of the speakers would have any power.

Since the op said he replaced the speaker, that would mean he replaced the amp also.

you may have to run speaker wire from your headunit to that speaker. I had to run wires to all 4 of my speakers after I kept blowing the audio fuse.

may be a bad wire connection at the HU... you could run a wire from the other front speaker (from behind the HU of course) and get it working like that, you just will not have the balance option (L/R) for the front speakers.
