Remedy:

Remedy 1. Check sound amplifier (A2/13) for traces of water. Check condensation drain hoses for correct seating. Perform rain test and check interior compartment for leaks. Eliminate leaks and replace defective sound amplifier (A2/13) in accordance with parts note.

Remedy 2. In some cases the sound amplifier (A2/13) can be made to respond via XENTRY again by means of a voltage reset.
