Sounding off.....

Post by coffeechris » Thu Apr 24, 2014 9:53 am

Hi, I'm a new RS+ owner and loving it (2004).

I don't suppose anyone knows where the fuse for the Bose Amp is? I had lovely sound and now lost it - everything works, but no sound.... no mute symbol etc.. thought best to check Amp.

Many thanks

It's the same fuse for the amp as for the RNS-D, so if your RNS-D is working, it's not the fuse.

Either there's a problem with the amplifier itself or it's not getting anything from the head unit.

You could try poking around in the engineering menu of the RNS-D to see if there are any leads in there.

Hmmm, I seem to have an RNS-E if that makes any difference?

It's the same deal, I'm afraid. The wiring is exactly the same for the D/E to the Bose amp. Wouldn't hurt to check that you're getting power to the amp, though. It's the red/yellow wire. Check the earth, too. It could be that simple.

Ok - Is that ground throughout the system or just at Amp? Where is the Bluetooth module hidden away as I know that was updated too....

will take a gander over the weekend.


Thanks :)
