Remedying Problems With The Amplifier

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2004 Porsche Boxster, 2003 Porsche Boxster, 2002 Porsche Boxster, 2001 Porsche Boxster, and 2000 Porsche Boxster. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
REMEDYING PROBLEMS WITH THE AMPLIFIER

Work instruction Yes No
1 Check amplifier connections for damage and then connect a functional amplifier.
 
Interference noises still present?
Replace amplifier
 
End
If the interference noises only come from one loudspeaker, insert a functional loudspeaker.
 
Step 2
Work instruction Yes No
2 Are the interference noises still present? Replace loudspeaker
 
End
Lay the cable supply lines again, making sure that there is adequate clearance to other cables and electrical components; if necessary, reconnect the loudspeaker connection.
 
Also, twist the loudspeaker leads together to minimize the interference noises.
 
Step 3
3 Are the interference noises still present?
  1. Check the audio cables between the radio and the amplifier for free points, short circuits and high resistance.
  2. Check all cable connections for bent or loose connections, corrosion or other damage.

Step 4
End
Work instruction Yes No
4 Repair cable connections. Are the interference noises still present?
  1. Localize the ground connection for the amplifier.
  2. Disconnect the ground lead on the amplifier side.
  3. Re-connect the ground connection at an appropriate point.
  4. Measure the functionality of the ground connection with a ohmmeter between the negative terminal of the battery and the relevant ground point (potential difference).

Step 5
No: End
