Hello Guys,
I've been lurking for a few months since I've purchased my 03tb. You all always seem helpful and supportive. Great to have an active community.
My 03tb, non-Bose, no on star or rear seat entertainment radio quit working. I replaced all 4 speakers, that seemed to be the resolve for a little while.
Shortly thereafter, in the rain there would be no sound coming from the speakers. I replaced the head unit with an alpine one, installed it using the metro adapter keeping the chimes and rap. All was well and good. I thought for sure that was it because I took the radio apart and saw a bad capacitor. Everything was great until the rain came this morning. No sound again.
Do you guys have any advise? I know that these vehicles have serial bus issues, but the head unit still has power and functions normally. It's as if the radio is muted. Very frustrating.
I should add that when installing the radio, I left the small black plug disconnected as the adaptor did not connect to it.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated and I will certainly reciprocate as time allows. I am a former technician and work for an OEM currently. I'll be a resource for whatever I can help with.
Thanks in advance!
