No the speakers makes no sounds and it also does not let me click on the radio or entertainment bottom on the infotainment system. I don’t know what it could be but I will check the speakers with the multimeter I just think it might be software or a fuse I didn’t check or that’s missing.

I blew one of the 25W fuses labeled "Audio" in the manual in the under-the-hood fuse panel, but in my case the controller stopped working completely. I'd make sure all those labeled Audio are not blown. Should be at least a couple.

The other thing that comes to mind is that one or more of the plugs under the passenger seat (or behind the glove box at the TAU) may have come loose or been left unplugged if/when the previous owner removed their aftermarket gear.

Just for the hell of it, try touching the music note. It is a touch screen, unless the previous own cut the wire due to it being overheated. If they did cut it, they got in there and could have screwed up other things, and then it would be worth a look.

Well since it's cracked anways I would just replace it, find one at a local junkyard, online or replace with an aftermarket head unit/screen. I pretty much guarantee replacing it will fix it as long as the wiring harness has not been tampered with. I highly doubt it would be a fuse, unless it was one to an amp that the unit is realizing is not powering on.

Solved: just bought a 2015 Mazda 3 and had the same issue. In the engine compartment, there is a large fuse box. Fuses 11, 12, 13 control audio (fuse diagram is on the inside of the fuse box cover). Two of those were blown on mine. (There are replacement fuses inside the fuse box cover). Anyway, changed those out and now all is (currently) working. It has only been a day…but so far so good.
