Is the GPS still able to talk to you to give you turn by turn directions? I'm assuming that would happen over the same speakers and amplifiers as the audio. If not, I would suspect that the amplifier either isn't getting the "turn on" signal from the audio unit - or there is no voltage going to the amplifier - or it has failed in some way.
The factory service manual, available at
