My original Bose unit finally quit working, but I want to rule out the possibility of a bad relay. From what I gather, it's found behind the radio. But there are several relays back there. Can someone tell me which one is for the radio?
Thanks, Dave

Anybody?

That speaker amp relay is almost un-reachable! I think you'd have to remove the "breadbox" side of the dash to get at it. When I replaced the Bose receiver in my '84, I decided to leave the relay in place. I disconnected the pink/black (front) and pink (rear) wires from the amps, so there's no current drain. The relay still "clicks" when I turn on my new receiver, but I decided it's not enough to worry about.

(I bypassed the amps in my speaker enclosures when I installed new speakers)
