    I recently had my roof and convertible motor replaced on 1994 Mercedes SL600. Upon getting my car back from the shop, now my stereo doesn't work. Stereo display works but no sound. I took stereo out and tested it with direct connection to speakers and found that the stereo works. My hunch is that amp may have been disconnected or wires damaged. Does anyone know where the factory amp is on this model and have any tips how to access? I appreciate your help as I don't have much car electronics knowledge!

    Thank you!

    that's a tough one since i've never owned a mercedes... I'll keep on searching but i haven't came up with anything yet.

    I know in BMW's they are in the trunk, you may want to check the side panels in the trunk

    Found amp and discovered issue but need help!

    I dug around and found that factory Bose amp was unplugged. When I plugged it in, stereo works but have loud, high pitched noise coming through speakers that is constant volume irrespective of stereo volume control. Can turn to 0 or all the way up to max volume and high pitched noise is same volume. Gues that's why the folks whom replaced the roof decided to unplug my amp - to get rid of the noise. Meanwhile, they deny knowing anything about it......

    What could be the cause of the noise? How should I fix? Thank you!!

    they could have messed with the wiring which messed up the amp. you may need to replace the amp.

    Thats what a Bose Amp sounds like when it has a bad output. I hear it in Cadillacs and Maximas with Bose systems all the time.
