Was coming from the rear driver's side speaker but didn't have time to address so I just turned up the music and sent it.
Now having time to take it apart, I unplugged that speaker and the low hum went away. Assumed it blew somehow in the process, maybe some juice left in the system when I reconnected the battery? Thought afterwards of trying to plug it back in to see if it went away (idiot!). But hoping someone here may know before I order a new one or just leave it for now.
Also I broke one of those white plastic clips on the door panel, anyone know where I can get just one or two?
Thanks in advance and for reference (not sure it matters) it's a 2017 limited with the OEM plus sound package

Well, since they're not Bose speakers, there's not much to those rear speakers to be able to troubleshoot them:
Gently push on the cone in and out to check for a "crunchy" sound/feel indicating the voice coil is burnt. If no sound, continue.
Take a 1.5 -volt battery (AA, C, or D) and using a small gauge wire, attach the positive terminal of the battery to the positive terminal of the speaker, and then attach a wire to the negative terminal of the battery and then tap the wire to the negative terminal of the speaker. Each tap should push the cone out and you'll hear it make a soft pop sound. Reversing the wires during this test will pull the cone in and give you the same pop sound. Don't use a 9-volt battery during this test or you could damage the speaker. If the speaker makes the pop noise, there's probably nothing wrong with it.
However, you mention replacing a harness. Can you elaborate on replacing this harness?
My guess is something to do with the harness change is the cause of the problem.
