i guess they do not want those babies to corrode.

Actually, in the passenger compartment, environment, the tin is very resistant to oxidation. In the engine compartment the connections are sealed so corrosive elements are kept out. Air Bags are just a Bomb waiting to go off, so extra precautions are used.

even worse if the air bag does not go off when it should,lawyer time.

Re: 1990 Bose radio / amps problem

I had amp problems on my 90 coupe. After a less than successful attempt to repair the amps, I just went to Bose and got new ones. They were very reasonably priced. I'm thinking they were about $75 each.

As I recall, I had to contact Bose to get a repair authorization number so I could send in my old amps. Bose then decided that they were not worth repairing, and sent me new amps. FYI: The 1990 amps have the wiring connection soldered to the amps. The amps I got back from Bose were the 1991 and later style with a separate wiring connection. Bose included that with the new amps.

Apparently, I do have 90 amps since the connections are made with pig-tails soldered directly to the boards. At $75 each, that's cheaper than the repair places that I seen advertised. At the moment, I'm trying to figure out how to remove the front amp/speaker assemblies without damaging something. Thanks, Don

I am waiting to hear from Bose now about the amp and speaker repair for my 85.
