Citroen DS3 audio system failure

Hello! I had a similar issue with my old Vauxhall Astra a while back. The whole sound system went dead – no radio, no CD, nothing. In my case, it turned out to be a faulty bass speaker. When the bass speaker goes bad, it can sometimes take out the whole audio system. Have you checked the speakers themselves for any signs of damage, or tried testing them individually?

Thanks for the quick reply! I haven't checked the speakers individually. How would I go about testing them? I'm not very experienced with car audio systems, so any guidance would be appreciated.

Alright, testing the speakers individually can be a bit tricky without the right tools. A multimeter set to measure resistance (Ohms) would be ideal. A healthy speaker will typically show a small resistance reading, while a completely dead one will show either zero or infinite resistance. However, if you're not comfortable using a multimeter, I'd strongly recommend taking your DS3 to a qualified mechanic. They'll have the proper diagnostic equipment to pinpoint the problem accurately and avoid any potential electrical mishaps. It does sound like the same issue I experienced.

Thanks for the advice! It sounds like this is something best left to the professionals. I'll book an appointment with a local garage. They identified that the bass speaker was indeed defective. Replacement cost me 280€, but at least I have sound again.
