Harman Kardon amp not working
 

Hi All,

I had a water spill over the back seat of my VOlvo S80 2015 model. It’s fitted with the Harmab kardon amplifier. I suspect that the water spill caused the amp to blow up and now there is no sound in the speakers.

I can’t see the premium sound options as well in the sound menu so I suspect that it’s definitely the amp.

Now my question is if it’s the full amp that is damaged or is it just the fuse? I spoke to volvo and they are asking £99 for diagnosing and £950 to replace the amp.

All the volvo experts please advise me what’s the best way forward.

Thanks

Fuses only tend to blow when there is a significant increase in the load being drawn by the device, & fresh water is unlikely to cause that, However, anyone can check / replace a fuse for free so it seems like the logical place to start. There are plenty of companies that specialize in repairing Volvo head units etc.

Where was the water spilt as the amps under drivers seat,

Do you have anything when you switch audio on
