My Bose amp appears to have developed a fault where it constantly draws 0.23 Amp when the head unit it switched off - i.e. if you meter fuse 6, it reads 0.23 Amp and if you disconnect the wiring plug from the amp it drops to 0.

Pretty sure I've eliminated the head unit (not powering down the amp) by removing fuse 12 because that still reads 0.23 amp on fuse 6.

I've got a replacement Bose amp coming courtesy of Albs so we'll see what happens with that.

Strange one though and it runs a full battery down in just a few days.

Check the remote switch-on has the right voltage on it.

Should be 0v for off and 12v for on (IIRC, may be other way round)

Cheers TB.  Any idea which pin that is at the amp (thinking that's the easiest place to check, esp since I put mine in the cubby-hole on the right of the boot where the cd changer lives - retro fit 2 yrs ago).

Check for water ingress, given the location you have mounted it

My CCR2006 sometimes has a hissy fit and leaves the amp powered-up. Steering wheel lights and MID also stay on if amp output on HU is active. If you have a CCRT / NCDC this may be less relevant.

Cheers, I'll meter that pin and see what's happening.

Cheers Kevin - it's a '99 MFL so nowhere near as sophisticated as that mate

Cheers Dave. It's been raining today so I'll see if there's any water getting in.

Fitted replacement Bose amp purchased from Albs and all is well.

When I have time (laugh) I'll open the old one up to see what went wrong.

Thanks for the replies!!!

Glad it sorted your problem mate.
