i have a 97 Maxima with the stock Bose system. It was working fine till recently. for some reason, i go to turn it on and there is no sound from any of the speakers. the lights come on, the antenna activates and i can even see the ST blinking when it's on a station with static. but there is no sound at all. any suggestions?

 

Check the fuses for the amplifiers.

 

I have the same problem. I believe it is with output processor. I need to take it out and examine it when it's not working.

I think it's another resister coming off the board similar to the display issue.

Reason:
It works when warmed up and if I shut it off when it's working it usually work when i start the car back up.

If not I do the following.

Try turning up volume to almost max and have heat on full blast for approximately 20min. That's when mine will come back on.

I was going to try and pull it out this weekend.

 

Which fuses are for the amplifiers?

 

just buy a aftermarket single din stereo, they re-do the wiring stuff so it should work if u buy an aftermarket one. thats what i did when this happened

 

Bad idea IMO.
Gets expensive fast when this problem can likely be fixed cheap.

 

how is it a bad idea? I dont see how its expensive... I paid 75$ for it and its still working 2 years later, no money put into it after installing.

 

1. OP probably needs a fuse and you recommend that a new radio be purchased.
2. The OP has Bose and would need a limiter to still use the Bose amps without sounding like crap.
3. OP would also need a harness, trim, and an antenna adapter.
4. OP would need to wire it all.

OR replace the fuse...yeah..

 

As Fakie says, check the fuses. Specifically, check fuse # 22, a 10 amp fuse. Fuse 22 is in the dashboard fuse block, the center column, 5th from the top. Count any empty spaces.

Or you can check for 12 volts on the red wire on any of the speakers. The red wire comes from fuse # 22.

 

thanks guys, i"ll check the fuse and try to find a power tester to check the voltage

 

popped in the fuse, found that the wire connector for my back speaker was bent and making contact with the metal frame of the speaker and causing the fuses to pop, but i got it all set now, thanks guys

 

 

Throwing Money at a problem isn't the best way IMO.....
