ISSUE
Some 2005-2006 Escape, Escape Hybrid, Mariner, and 2006 Mariner Hybrid vehicles may exhibit a buzz from the front door speakers. This may be due to the resonant characteristics of the door vapor barrier (poly shield), or in some cases loose speaker mounting hardware.
ACTION
Use the following Service Procedure to resolve buzz from front door speaker.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-05 for door panel removal.
2. Remove both front door poly shields and operate radio to verify buzz is eliminated. If buzz is still present, go to Step 3. If buzz is eliminated, replace both front poly shields. Be sure to take care that the adhesive sections make full contact with the inner door panel and not the speaker
3. Verify speaker fasteners are properly torqued to 17 lb-in (1.9 N.m). If buzz is still present this TSB does not apply and refer to WSM for additional diagnostics.
