Okay, so stock bose on 96 CE Convertible.

It lights up, the buttons seem to function. But I have no sound. I checked for loose wires, all seems fine. I tried using a CD, it plays, but no sound. Any ideas?

Also, If it's really dead, and I decide to go aftermarket with a Double Din, where's the best place to get a new bezel? Thanks guys. Yes, i've tried to find the answers before asking, hehe.

Don't those have a cell phone mute?

Thought I would throw that one out there.

My bad, I need new glasses, didn't even see the yr.

You could have blown the relay for the speakers, or the CDM could have taken a dump. Best thing to do is read the C4 sticky at the top of the section, and see if you can figure out what happened.

I read this section from end to end before I posted, and If you can find the answer in the sticky, i'll send ya a chocolate cake.

Okay, pulled the receiver out, is the relay the little black box right there next to it? On the 96 it's in the bin behind the passenger seat.

Sorry, I don't have an FSM (Factory Service Manual) for a '96. On my '90, there are a relay's on a bar that runs across the dash on the pass side, you would need to remove the hush panel on the pass side to see it.
Try doing a search on "radio relay" in the C4 Tech section.
