Information
One or more of the 8 ohm coaxial speakers used with ETR radios in 1983 Wagoneer, Cherokee and Truck models built before December 1, 1982 may cut-out intermittently.
The cut-out problem is caused by the speaker wire leads occasionally touching the speaker frame.
To eliminate this problem, insulate the speaker frame area under the wires with electrical tape as outlined in the following procedure.
