Bose Problem
The lighting display on the Bose fades in and out. One minute its bright, the next dim and often no display at all.....Anyone have this problem or know solution to fixing it? 
Thanks

ahhh does it happen when u press the brakes.. i know ti souds stupid.. but these cars are sorta wired senstive.. i disconnected my hazard/clock/defrost button from the dash... shure everything is fine.. then im on the highway.. cop pull sme over.. son u didnt signal.. im like .. huh? and then i hit the signla.. ahh im sorry officer .. i dont think its working.. i took out the vent that houses the hazard and defrost and clock.. on my i30.. so i told him someone stole it.. so he let me off.. anyway.. then i realized that when i hti the brake.. the Bose display would dim.. im like wtf..
anyway.. appartantly there isnt enough resistance if things are unplugged and left alone.. so yea.. once plugged in.. everything is dandy...

^^^ i dont think it has anything to do with that.
thers a fix for that in the how-to, its a 520 ohm resistor thats solder isn't making propery contact. depending on temperature and humidity i think, the solder shrinks and expands causing the connection to engage and disengage. make sure you check the faq's and the how tos for the common bose fix. its in a howto by madchef

geez, i guess its the night of bad responses. first of all, its a 470 ohm resistor. second of all, it has nothing to do with humidity. in fact, over time, the solder uses just plainly, looses conductivity.
this has happened to me with 2 different BOSE headunits.
The fix for it IS in a sticky, but you dont need to replace the resistor. just simply solder it back on. since the solder goes bad, it just need a new application. believe me, i have done this twice so far, both successfully fixing the non-working BOSE display both times.
just locate the resistr following the sticky's directions. take the smallest flat head you can find, and with your hand cupped over the resistor, pop it off, catching it in your hand. be careful, it is very small. then, resolder the restor back into place (it doesnt matter upside down, crooked, whatever. jsut make sure that the solder is in contact with both of teh metal contacts on the circuit board, along with contact on the resistor itself.
Let me know if you try this and how it turns out. GOOD LUCK!

its ok, i guess i can let it slide...
