Ok, I just came in from the garage after removing and installing a GM/Bose amplifier in my 2011 Buick Enclave with the Bose option. As a former Buick tech ( 1973-1987) I always take precautions when working around an airbag and electricity. Prior to taking on this repair I disconnected the neg battery cable. I found it easier to remove the ECM and get the connectors, including the airbag connector, out of the way. The connector plugs are color coded for easy reinstall.
First I wasn't sure if my no audio condition was due to the amp or the radio. My vehicle is equipped with a rear seating sound system and I checked the audio on the rear with headphones and was able to listen to the radio and cd player. This told me that the rear sound system does not use the Bose amplifier and the radio was sending a good signal to the amp. Now to the removal! I was fortunate that whoever installed the amp originally did not over tighten the fasteners! The single front was a breeze (deep 7mm 1/4" drive with ratchet) and I was on my way. I then tackled the toughest. The upper bolt. I could feel it it with my fingers. I took a deep 7mm and wrapped the ratchet end with non-slip carpet material (one layer only) and taped it tight on the socket with a small piece of packing tape. I was able to loosen and eventually remove the tough one by hand. The tough lower one I used a 7mm combination wrench and it took forever due to tight quarters. In the video you see a 1/4" air wrench and this is the way to go go for the lower bolt. Once detached you'll learn that Buick did not leave much room to disconnect the wiring connector, but it can be done. The amp wiring connectors/plugs have releases similar to the ECM. You will not be able to see them, just feel them. Once I reconnected the wire plugs on the new amp. I installed/reconnected the ECM, air bag and lastly the battery negative cable. What a relief to find my navigation will talk to me, radio works, backup sound signalling and even the turn signals worked.
I have heard others say they did not reinstall all 3 amplifier bolts. They positioned the new amp securely in the holder and only secured it with the easy front fastener or the front and lower fasteners.
Now, where did I purchase the new amp? Mine is GM part number 25994309 and it is available on Amazon for $232.68 and shipping is free if you are a Prime member. Although I almost never buy an extended warranty, for this I did. It was around $12 from Square Trade. There are repairers on Ebay and you can ship your failed amp to them for repair. Last I checked, the cost was about $170 with a good warranty. This repair requires patience because it took me almost 4 hrs and I have scratches on my left from it! Just be careful and be aware of what you are doing. I hope this was helpful!
That was a HUGE help, thank you so much brother 🤙🏽
Hi Clay, just found your channel. Thanks for the video. Going to be finding out if it helps me out soon!
Just finished replacing mine in a 2011 Acadia. The instructions made this task possible. The only thing I did different was when I was taking out the top screw I lay down across the front seat with my feet on the passengers side. This made it easier to reach my arm up under he dash. Thanks for the info. My radio and speakers are working again.
Thank you very much Eric for sharing that does sound like that would be a little bit easier have a great day
Thankyou, this video helped me out a lot! I just gotta get to work on it now. You mentioned the leaking on both side corners of the car/hood. Whenever i turn right, i hear this water sliding around, then dribbles on the floor😢 so annoying! Thanks again with the radio info.
Yup it will also go to your fuse box and my car hasn't started a couple of times due to this over the past 2 years
You explained that very well 👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Thanks for the video worked on an 07..oppened up the ampl and resoldered what I could and it worked... Thanks
I'd really like to find out what you actually did with your amp! I don't wanna have to buy another one
My 2010 Chevy Traverse back up sensor audio and Bluetooth audio are abnormally low (barely recognizable). The stereo still works fine. Is this an amp problem as well? I cant find the solution anywhere!
Why hasnt GMC put out a recall? My car has had trouble starting because of the excesss water draining into the wrong areas
i have the problem. .. i clean the moon roof draing hoses and end. . and thats the 3 amplifier is bad. i cant find the leak or the problem.
So is there a way you can test that part before you actually take it out? It looks difficult!
I got a 2007 Saturn outlook though. Today I had a evap leak figured it was the gas cap. Didn’t have a scan tool to delete the code so went ahead loosen up the battery terminal and connected it back now the radio won’t work today.
I have same problem on my gmc i took to chevy and thats was factory problems because the windshield has leaks
Would a bad Amp also be the reason why the tv/DVD player has no sound as well?
Hi I need help with my car. It is also gmc acadia 2008. When I lock the car from the inside using the button on the driver side, it sometimes only closes the driver side door rather than closing all of the doors for the car, and it sometimes does not unlock the door either. The passenger side lock buttons work to open and lock and unlocked all of the doors, and the remote car key buttons work to open it as well. However, my driver side is the issue and doesn't manually work well. How can I fix it? thanks
I have a 2011 gmc Acadia and yesterday when I opened the door heard like a pop come from speakers. No keys in ignition or anything. When cranked car it was a really loud static sound. If turn volume all the way down it eventually stops but if you turn volume up any at all its just loud static. Also what's crazy is when use turn signals it does the loud static again.
Hi Aaron very sorry to hear about that. Yes it’s definitely your amplifier from the sounds of it. The reason it makes that noise when you turn your blinkers on is because the chime noise for your blinker Passes through your speakers.
So unfortunately like I said I believe it’s your amplifier I wish I had better news for you they are a son of a gun to change.
@@sharpcarco yea I went out and took the Amp fuse out and it stopped only problem is the stereo won't work without it so guess I'll he buying an amplifier lol. Thanks for the reply
What did you use to get top bolt out tool you got wont work for me i tried
A palm ratchet with Deep well socket for Torque
Will the tweeter speakers still work if this is bad. All my speakers are out except those
Yes that generally indicates the amplifier is bad sorry about not answering your question sooner greatly apologize I hope you see this in time
Do you have to have the dealership program the amp after you install the new one?
No You do not
i have the same problem on an 09 traverse i got no sound in the turn signals or my radio.. did you have the same condition when you went about replacing the amp?
Yes I did
Did you fix yours?? My 09 traverse no sound, radio, turn signals, or door chime.
I got a 2008 acadia GMC only the tweeters work what should I do 4 my speakers 2 work AGAIN?? I feel like shooting my truck with my 50 cal 😠 😤
HELP !
really sorry bro. You own an Acadia you might want to consider doing that !because the radio not working is going to be the least of your problems . In all seriousness I wished I had some good advice for you . But in that situation I would feel like you probably do need the amplifier but would not be for sure. but in that situation I would feel like you probably do need the amplifier but would not be for sure
Aye Hey if the tweeters are still working I about gurentee ur door speakers are just blown so replace them. Take one door panel off an take a test speaker and try it first but more than likely if u still got sound out of tweeters amp isn’t bad
I loved my Acadia so much until it popped one day and then cut in and out and then went silent for good. Such a bummer for a girl like me. I will be doing my best to educate myself on this type of repair.. yikes.
How do I open the door or where is it to get to the amplifier?
It's by your hood release gate and brake pedal area.
Hi
I have Gmc envoy no radio sound and CD
What the problem?
What happens if it was not factory with a Bose system I have one door speaker that works in to tweeters that work the rest work every now and then and I believe it has no subwoofer
I have one without the Bose. So no amp. It was the speakers. They all go out and sometimes work when hot or dry. New speakers and fixed it
I have 2003 Envoy the radio turns on but there's no sound I have no idea what it could be
Even though this was a lot later model then your envoy it is a possibility the factory amplifier could be bad I can’t say for certain though
What cars are compatable with that factoey amplifier ??
GMC Acadia Chevy traverse and Saturn outlook
I have a 09 gmc. I have no power to my radio and all the sound in my blinkers and everything are gone, and also my park assist went out. You think that amp could have something to do with it. It all started when I lost power to my radio.
Absolutely it’s very very possible did you check the fuses?’s
Is it the same for a terrain?
No I’m sorry to say it more than likely isn’t I apologize for not answering sooner.
So Once I take the amp out do I replace it with a new one?
I replaced mine with a used one I don’t remember but I don’t think they need any programming maybe you need to be reset with the scanner but that’s about it
Is it the windshield seal that leaks or something else there?
From all of my experience Sasquatch it’s been the windshield seal that’s leaking
same problem radio works sound only in tweeters and not any other speakers...NOT A BOSE SYSTEM JUST REGULAR STOCK RADIO
Same problem here 2011 enclave cxl. any update ?
Non Bose
same problem here, did you find a solution?
I have the same problem. No sounds. Only from the twetters. Did anybody find out how to fix it.
Everyone says replacing the speakers is the solution. I just test wired a cheap speaker to the front drivers door speaker wires and it seemed to work, but sounded tinny (what do you expect for cheap) but at least I know new speakers will work.
How did you know that the amp was the problem??
Well in my situation my radio would come on but no sound would come out the speaker
When there's no sound to the chime, turn signals and stereo. Most likely is the amplifier. The Acadias and similar GM SUVs have sunroof leaking issues and with time it damages the amplifier.
Mine doesnt have sound, except sometimes when i start the acadia, it sounds like a machine gun coming from the speakers.
That means the amplifier is blown. I’m imagining your blinkers don’t make any noise either because that’s controlled by the amplifier
Thanks man, for rhe speedy response. Can these be bought new? Or should i look for a used one?
Alchile es un pedote sacar el ampli
That sucks
This isn’t even close to a DIY video. You didn’t even show how to access it, how/where to pop open the panel, what it looks like before removed, or showing the removal in real time.
Well that’s good go watch somebody else’s video…
