Thanks! That is good advice. Looks like the less expensive way to go also..

Re: 1990 ZR-1 Bose Radio

Jim, I have had the same problem with my 91. I needed to replace the main radio control unit. Can't think of the proper name for it, but it is a box that mounts directly below your control unit for the cruise control. It is under the dash on the passenger side. It is a bugger to take out and replace! I had Ken Andersen at K & B Special Products rebuild mine. Works great now! Call Ken to discuss...770-777-1031.

I do not think it is the radio or the speaker amps...my guess is the radio control unit. Good Luck.

Try this before you go too much farther on expensive parts and rebuilds:

Thanks! I ordered the part and plan to put it in Saturday, if it is not a backbreaker to reach under the dash.. The install diagram looks simple. I hope it works. Thanks again.

Let us know if the relay replacement resolves your radio problems.

That did it. Thanks for saving me some big $$. It was a little challenging to install for an old timer like me, but well worth the trouble..Thanks again:
