What is the reason for no sound from the driver's door speaker of the Volkswagen Tayron?

No sound from the driver's door speaker of the Volkswagen Tayron may be caused by poor contact in the speaker wiring. Check the power system: Turn on the headlight switch. If the headlights do not light up or are dim, start the engine and slightly increase the throttle. If the headlights function normally and the speaker sounds, it indicates insufficient charge in the battery. Check the battery and its connecting cables as described previously. If the battery is low on charge, the car can still operate normally. When you need to use the horn, simply increase the throttle appropriately. Check the relay: Press the horn button and check if the relay makes a "click" sound. If there is no sound from the relay, the horn relay or the horn button may be damaged. Replace the relay and button if necessary. Check the speaker: If the relay is functioning normally, the speaker may be damaged or have poor grounding. If the speaker has poor grounding, remove and reinstall it. If the speaker is damaged, replace it with a new one.
In such cases, having repaired Volkswagen vehicles for many years, I can say that the absence of sound from the driver's door speaker in the Tayron is usually due to several possibilities. The speaker unit might be burnt out, as the door vibrations are significant, leading to a shorter lifespan of the unit. Wiring faults are common, such as broken wires from pulling at the door hinge area or oxidation and corrosion at contact points; check the audio fuse in the fuse box under the dashboard and replace it with a new one according to the manual. There could also be a settings issue—enter the car's infotainment system and adjust the audio balance to ensure it's not biased towards the passenger side. Loose connectors inside the door panel are a common problem; just disassemble and tighten them. Amplifier failures are rare but possible. Don’t forget environmental factors like rainy days causing moisture to worsen connections. It's advisable to start with simple checks like fuses and settings, operate safely without tampering with circuits, and seek professional diagnosis if unresolved to avoid causing other faults. In summary, troubleshoot from the easiest to the most difficult issues.
I was stunned when the left door speaker of my Tayron stopped working after over a year of use. First, check if the volume is turned up and the correct audio source is selected. Go into the audio settings and adjust the balance to the center to ensure it's not biased. The fuse box near the foot pedal contains the relevant section—check if any fuses are blown; replacing them is easy. Loose wiring to the door speaker is common and can come undone on bumpy roads; try tapping the door panel—it might temporarily work. High humidity can cause rust at connection points, affecting signal transmission. Don’t overlook incorrect Bluetooth source output settings, as phone mapping issues can also affect one side. DIY fixes save time, but door panel clips break easily—don’t force them. Visiting a 4S shop is more reliable since they have tools to read fault codes. Developing a habit of regularly checking the audio system helps detect issues early.
