hello there! my bose headunit is having some problems starting. it makes a little noise when attempting to eject a cd, but other than that it dosent start or illuminate. nothing else works except for the eject button. i tried taking it apart, and fiddled with the wires but nothing. just grr's at me when i try to eject the cd with the button. i got a 7.5 amp fuse which i thought was behind the audio peice but its not. i checked all the fuses under the drivers side, replaced them as well, but still no action. could anyone help me by any chance? i realized there are other little sockets to have things plugged into them but i cant find out what theyre used for. do i need a new bose headunit?

 

These are infamous for breaking. My display just went out on me and I bought a 1999 Maxima HU which looks a lot better than the 1995 HU. Anyway, your better off going onto ebay (like I did) and buying a new or used one. Its just not worth it to fix your current one.

 

I did the same exact thing about a month ago..the 99 HU does look and feel alot better than the 95-96's and no more error code when tryin to play a CD...I luckly got mine from a .org member for $175 shipped

Ya good stuff! I got mine for 140 shipped on ebay and I love it. Controls have a better feel to them and I like the placement as well...Looks dont hurt either! So aarrr22 get a 97 and up HU...

 

You can fix your Bose headunit. But it's up to you to descide if it's worth it.
I just (yesterday) repaired my headunit that had a non-functioning display.
Basically, you have to take the unit apart, remove the power board, and re-solder re-solder re-solder.

I posted some info here:

There's no definate solution, but there is a good chance that board is your problem.

 

True, those are infamous for breaking down.
