AMP1....uh oh. Is this my problem? Posted by turrbo [Email] (#8) [Profile/Gallery] (more from turrbo) on Sat, 13 Apr 2013 15:28:42 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Scenario: Back in December, I parked my '04 convertible in the garage for the winter. A week later I went to start it up again and noticed the battery was dead. The battery was new from a Saab dealer, installed in October (old one was 4 years old and died). Fast forward to last week - brought the dead battery back to the dealer, they load tested it and it failed the test so I received a free new battery.
I installed the new battery today and started the car for the 1st time since December. First thing I noticed: audio system is gone. The display works, the door chimes and turn signals work, but the only sound from the whole system is some loud muffled bass from the right door speaker.
Now I'm wondering if:
1.) AMP1 failed and caused battery drain in December or
2.) The bad battery somehow killed AMP1?
Does any of this make sense? Do my symptoms point towards AMP1 for sure? Issue #1 above makes me nervous that this new battery will drain too.
Thanks for any opinions.
