2002 Pathy SE Bose Amp? Location?

[02SurfPathy]

Hello,

My rear speakers have stopped working. Haven't checked fuses yet but I'm still trying to find the location for the Bose AMP.

I looked through the postings but the picture links have expired. Can someone tell me and hopefully post some pictures?

Thanks!

Hopefully someone comes along and tells you exactly where it is, if there is one. I can't remember seeing one when I had my qx4.

Meanwhile, maybe the audio section of the factory service manual (linked below), will help you locate it and also troubleshoot the issue.

Thanks! I have looked at the SM and it says it's behind the rear interior quarter panel.

NOW....HTF do you remove it???

Why is nothing easy??

Checked the fuses both OK then I found the amp. Ripped the panel (now I need to find new small round plastic push connectors) and nothing looked unusual.

Checked the stereo and back speakers are working! ARG! Was it the fuse connection??? I ran the stereo and wiggled the amp wiring and no break-ups.

ARG!
