ChicagoLexus Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 most likely...a wire shorted and muted the speakers...you need to disconect the amp and plug it back in..that's what i did and it worked. if not there is another yellow connector to disconnect underneath the rear seat on the driver side... generally caused by some liquid spilling...

rich21 Posted April 2, 2004 Author Share Posted April 2, 2004 before the radio went out completely, it would go out every now and then. so i disconnected the connector and when i disconnected it it cam back on. when i went to connect it it would go out. so i left it disconnected. can you please explain that one?

Theodore Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 SMELL the RADIo and then Smell the Amp in the trunk if u smell something like burnt plastic then its fried if not. Then its just a lose wire or maybe a lose speaker wire grounding out. Better test everything get a Metra plug adapter and connect a temporary aftermarket radioif it works then the source of the problem is the radio.

rich21 Posted April 3, 2004 Author Share Posted April 3, 2004 i checked the amp and when i looked i saw water. not a lot of water but just real moist down there. i dont smell anything burnt. how can water get in where the amp is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDOwen2 Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 The gasket that seals the trunk may be bad. Check the gasket closely for cuts, nicks or brittleness. You may also have an opening in the wheel well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theodore Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 if ur amp has water damage it might not smell. the smell usually comes from capacitors inside the amp that burnt from excess heat. water damage can just short out the circuit board.

rich21 Posted April 4, 2004 Author Share Posted April 4, 2004 took out the cd changer and the amp. there was water in there. the amp was a little moist. i dryed it up and cleaned the connectors but still doesn't work. if the amp shorted out can an aftermarket amp be put in. if so how many watts and what would be the best amp for it?

rich21 Posted April 7, 2004 Author Share Posted April 7, 2004 i was in traffic today and i decided to turn on the radio after not doing so for a few days and it all of a sudden came on. i was daaaaaaaaaam.. so im thinking it could be a loose wire in the head unit. also when i would take a quick left turn it would go out and come back. what do you guys think?
