93 With dead BOSE radio

Funny you mention that... I have a 94' that I just got last week that has exactly the same problem. I suspect the unit is just going since it's 10 years old.

Mine seemingly croaked 3 years ago when in actuality it was a problem at the power relay that supplies power to the amps that cratered. The signal from the head to the relay pooped out.

Get inside the leftdriver's kick panel on the by the door. There are 3 relays there from what I recall. Pry one of the relay caps off (it might have been the blue one - may have to do them all) it with it still in the sockett and squeeze the contacts with the radio on and see if the amps kick in and sweet tunes come out. Mine did and I merely ran a jumper wire from the power side of the coil to a spot on the fuse block that became active when the key was on.
