Solution

1. Preparation

Gather tools: screwdriver set, multimeter, and OBD-II scanner.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shorts.
Allow the vehicle to sit for a few minutes after disconnecting the battery.

2. Inspect and Replace Fuses

Locate the fuse box, usually found under the dashboard or near the engine compartment.
Remove the relevant fuse for the audio system using the fuse puller.
Check the fuse for continuity using a multimeter. If blown, replace it with a fuse of the same amperage.

3. Check Speaker Connections

Remove the head unit using a screwdriver.
Inspect the wiring harness connected to the head unit for any loose or damaged connections.
Check the wiring at each speaker, accessing the door panels if necessary.
Reconnect any loose wires and replace any damaged wiring with compatible gauge wire.

4. Test the Head Unit

Reconnect the head unit and connect known working speakers to it, if available.
Power on the audio system to check if sound is present.
If sound is present with the test speakers, the issue may be with the original speakers.

5. Replace Faulty Speakers (if necessary)

If the speakers are identified as faulty, remove the old speakers by unscrewing them from their mounts.
Install new speakers, ensuring they are compatible with the Clio V.
Connect the wiring harness to the new speakers and secure them in place.

6. Reassemble and Final Checks

Reinstall the head unit and any trim pieces removed during the process.
Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
Test the audio system again to ensure all speakers are working properly.
