AMP Problem ..Please Help!!!

[MikeRM87]

I am having a problem with my Amp. It's a Kenwood KAC-9103D. What its doing is the power indicator light keeps flickering on and off and then shortly after, my amp turns off completely. I checked the fuses, they are fine. I took off the back of the Amp and the inside doesn't smell bad and it doesn't look like anything is burned on the inside. I also have another amp for my interior speakers, and it is working fine, so I have isolated the problem to my kenwood amp...but can not find out what is wrong with it. If u have any suggestions or might know what could be causing the problem..please let me know

Any help is greatly appreciated

Loose internal connection or component in the amp? Cold solder joint?, I assume you checked the ground for a solid connection and ensure that the power wire was secure at both ends. Do a continuity check on the fuse even if it looks OK visually it can become detached on the inside of the cap ends causing it to be intermittent.
