If the outside speakers aren't working then there are a few things to check:

The first being power, check the voltage to the stereo # JWM60A with a multimeter # PT89ZR and see if you're getting 12 volts. If not then you need to trace the line back to the power source to find the cause of the low voltage.

The next step would be to also check the exterior speakers for any damage or damage to the wiring. I've removed quite a few speakers and found them torn up quite a bit once I get the faceplate off.

The next thing to check would be the functions of the stereo. "Zone C" should be lit up when turned on and send power and audio out to the exterior speakers. If it's not lit up and sending audio out and you've turned the zone on then your stereo is the issue and needs to be replaced.
