Default No Chimes, Speaker Audio, Nothing...

Hello everyone I have been searching non-stop and cannot seem to find anyone for a situation like this. I work at a collision repair shop, and we just finished repainting an 07 C6. All was well then the customer brings it back the next day and there is no chimes/alerts from the car, and there is no speaker audio or sound, even though the radio does turn on like normal. Everything is stock no aftermarket radio or anything aftermarket for that matter, dash works and lights up fine, HUD working, but just no sound whatsoever. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know that the chimes come from the left door speaker. That is where I would start. Verify you are getting power there by checking with a ohm meter. The meter will fluctuate with the sound levels. If no fluctuation start checking wiring between the speaker and radio.

Ok we will try that. Would that also affect there being no sound at all even for radio stations etc.?

AMP Fuse #31 under the hood would be my first check.
