Re: RCD210
I'd open up the left rear door card, and have a look at the speaker first. If the connections seem secure, I'd see if I can connect up the wires to another test speaker and see if any sound comes through.

Re: RCD210
Okay, the left speaker is dead. Must be Covid19. Tested with another speaker no issue. With what do you replace them as I guess you need to do both back one's. Not even sure if you can buy OEM's and their cost. The other thing, should it be 8 Ohms or are 4 Ohms ok?

I'd bet you can get a replacement at a dealer, but probably at the price of a full 3rd party speaker system.
Sorry, my knowledge of speakers and impedance is very limited, hopefully someone else can assist.
