Bose Amp TROUBLES
AC FIXED, Now BOSE AMP/PROCESSOR giving trouble.
When I was tearing apart the dashboard to get to be left side blend door actuator I had to unplug and remove the Bose Amp. After I had completed the left side actuator I bolted the amp back up and plugged it in. I am now barely getting a sound out of my radio. Unplug the harness from the amp and partially slid the plug back in and while moving it from side to side I would get sporadic power to the amp and the speakers would work. Fully insert the plug and I get absolutely nothing other than the radio working without the amplifier. The two fuses that power the radio and the amplifier are both good. Swapped the amp relay with the rear defroster thinking the relay was bad. Side note both relays are identical. So anyway swap the relays still no power coming from the radio. I even went as far as replacing the amp plug with another pigtail. Cut wires from old and soldered to new, 1 wire one color at a time. The Bose amplifier still does not work. Any ideas?
And NO, I DO NOT want to swap over to an after-market radio or go with a double din set up. I'm happy with the Bose system and just want it to work.
Also....had a spare Bose Amp, tried it. Doing the same thing so it's not the amp.
