	Common Buick Stereo Problems

Buick Delco Radio Intermittent or Static with Treble and Bass Slide Controls
Buick - 85-90 Delco Bose	Speakers cut in and out intermittently, treble/bass controls have static when adjusting.

	Adjusting treble/bass slide controls can cause speakers to go in and out with static.

	This is a simple DIY Repair. Radio Shack sells a "Control Cleaner" with lubricant. Push slide controls down. Spray into top of slide control opening and move slide control up and down to clean and lubricate.

NOTE - This model Corvette, 85 to 88 1/2 rarely has a Bose amplifier problem. If cleaning the treble/bass controls does not take care of speaker problems, see How to Troubleshoot Your Corvette Bose System.

	AC CONTROL No or Intermittent Display Dealerships quote replacement at $175-340.
	These instructions apply specifically to model number 10367041. Although most AC controls are similar. You may be able to recognize the problems with other AC controls by giving them a good visual inspection.
	1.1) Remove both knobs from face of AC Control.
	2.1) From back of AC Control, remove four screws.
	3.1) Remove front panel from AC control.
	4.1) Lift display and printed circuit board from back cover.
	5.1) Display printed circuit board is attached by wire harness. Lay front panel toward top.
	6.1) Locate two sets of two rows of solder connections. This is where the main connectors from the factory wire harness attach.
	7.1) Re-solder both sets of two rows of connections. Note - With the pressure supplied to these connectors from the factory wire harness and the continuous vibration from the vehicle, these solder connections become broken or have poor connections.
