2011 Tuscon Limited - No sound after ZAP

[rvgenomini]

I'm en route to a salvage yard a couple hours away, will report back. Gonna have them plug it in to my car and see if I get sound.

The two cars I looked in didn't have amplifiers. Onto the next option, might have found one on ebay.

The fact that they did not have them may be an indication of their durability.

The screws for mounting were there but I didn't see any wiring at all. They were 2010 Tuscon's without a rear speaker in the trunk, so my guess would be they don't even have amps to begin with. Had to give it a shot.

I found an amp repair service on ebay, the guy I reached out to asked if I hear beeps when I use the reset button on the radio, or when I make selections on the touchscreen. He suggests it's likely an amp issue if I don't (and I don't).

I found an amp repair service on ebay

I was checking for s/pdif to RCA converters to see if one can be used there with an aftermarket amp. There are only 2 channel converters, so no telling which speakers would be playing when using the fade/balance feature.

Thanks for looking.

My amp is in the mail, when it gets back in a few days I'll see what happens!

My amp came back from the repair service. Now, I'm not 100% sure it's the amp I sent, it had slight damage to the frame, BUT, I now have audio in my car. So, God bless the repairman.

HUGE thanks to everyone who contributed in here to helping me determine my amp was the issue. You guys were great. I now own a multimeter which I've always wanted to do, and I learned more about how my car's electronics work.

I like to think that everyone got something useful out of this back and forth. Best of luck to you all!
