Strange stereo problem

2003 F250

It has an aftermarket headunit. When it's on the am/fm tuner I have sound from the rear speakers and nothing but static from the door speakers, I can change settings to only rear speakers and it sounds fine (minus sound from door speakers). When it's on CD it only plays sound from the passenger rear speaker. If I try to change settings to the front speakers I get sound from the front passenger speaker but it's VERY quiet no matter what the volume and nothing from the driver speaker.

Suggestions?

It is just barely possible that you have some sort of wiring problem and/or speaker problem, BUT based on the fact that you get different results depending on whether the head unit is in radio or CD mode, I will bet long odds that the problem is in the head unit itself.

Finally got around to resolving the problem after driving down the road yesterday. It just shut off randomly. Pulled the headunit out and had one of those "Well there's your problem..." moments. Apparently the P.O. allowed a drunk 2 year old to wire it in. All speakers work now and it doesn't turn off randomly!
