#1481 of 1549 radio humming noise by wesleyg Apr 08, 2007 (4:44 am)
Several times in the last 6 months my SS has had a humming noise in the radio, this happens when I am sitting in the running car with the drivers door open several minutes, no seat belt on. The humming is quite loud and even shutting the radio or CD player off and then back on does not stop it.   The cure I found is to switch on the turn signal for several flashes, and bang it's gone. Since it's so infrequent and I have a cure, I don't want the dealer to mess with it. Any one else have this? Thanks Replies to this message: zappaland (Jun 04, 2007 5:58 am)

Replying to: mymitties (Apr 08, 2007 3:09 am) Not wanting to be "puffy" here, but I do have somewhat of a discerning ear when it comes to the quality, clarity, tone, etc. etc. of music & system....So, this Hissing sound thing would drive me absolutely crazy and staight to the GM dealership for sure..!! Some say that enjoying Sound quality and enjoying Music are usually two different goals....   Frank,   You don't sound "puffy" to me. I would put myself in the same class, as a matter of fact. Now that a few of you are telling me that the Bose system actually SHOULD be a quality system, I will be looking to find an '06 Bose system on the Chevy lot to compare mine with so I might be able to get some warranty work done. Mine definitely doesn't meet the standard of premium. I just wish we lived closer together so we could compare "face to face." But, I do thank you for your help...as usual.   Thanks and I still welcome other '06 Bose owner opinions. The more the merrier! I think we're 2-2, currently.   Ron   P.S. - Frank, one more thing, would you be willing to either take a picture of the amp in your car or give a good physical description? I'll post a picture of mine soon.

Replying to: mjags (Mar 26, 2007 8:59 am) This is the definite fix i had to take out all the trim and the rear seat but here it is. The amp had no power also the chimes did not work, key in lights on and the like. On the passenger side is a wiring harness the wire that runs off the radio fuse splits at about the area of the post between the two doors( called the b-post)it is orange in color and where it splits is a factory connection.this connector is in the wiring harness and it will be wet just because of the weather and where it sits. I pulled off all the trim and rolled back the carpet. I pulled on all of the orange wires untill one came free not hard but a firm pull. I then used a butt connector and some shrink tube . and i fixed the problem. 1 if your radio appears to be working and the cd tracks 2 if you have no chimes 3 if you have no power to your amp GO TO A SHOP AND HAVE A MECHANIC USE A TEST LIGHT  THIS IS YOUR TROUBLE SPOT YOU WILL HAVE TO GO TO A BODY SHOP TO GET SOME NEW PLASTIC PINS TO PROPERLY RESET THE CARPET,USE A SHITLOAD OF ELECTRICAL TAPE TO GO OVER THE HARNESS TO KEEP IT DRY AND AS LONG AS YOU HAVE IT OUT CHECK THE GROUND IN THE FOOT WELL OF THE FRONT SEAT FOR CORROSION AS MINE WAS STARTING. I GREASED THAT AS WELL.

Replying to: zappaland (Apr 09, 2007 1:39 pm) Thanks for the reply. Do you happen to know which terminal at the amplifier is the power feed? I seem to have power at most amp terminals but I don't have a wiring diagram to know for sure which is the main power feed. Thanks.

Replying to: zappaland (Apr 09, 2007 1:39 pm) You were absolutely right!!!! Pulled up the rug on the passenger side and the backing was soaked with water. Pulled the harness out of the black plastic conduit and found the orange wire splice corroded. Repaired the splice and all is well again. I've got tunes after 3 months of silence. Many thanks zappaland. Replies to this message: capo33 (May 08, 2007 1:18 pm) ferrante (Aug 23, 2007 8:48 am)

Replying to: jojo28 (Apr 18, 2000 2:19 am) Hey just wondering if there is a way to bypass the amplifier? My Monte Carlo came with a stock amp and has seem to have gone bad and now I don't get any output from my speakers but radio is fine. Before I buy a new amp I was just curious if you found out how to bypass this amp.
